Ko Wen-je listed as suspect in corruption probeBy Jason Pan / Staff reporterProsecutors have listed former Taipei mayor and Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) Chairman Ko Wen-je (柯文哲) as a suspect in a corruption probe relating to the Core Pacific City (京華城) shopping mall redevelopment and the Beitou Shilin Science Park (北投士林科技園區) project. Taiwan People’s Party Chairman Ko Wen-je speaks to reporters on the sidelines of a forum in Taipei on Saturday. “This is the key evidence showing that Ko abused his authority to allow a large corporation to illegally benefit,” Hsu said. Chien said after construction work began at the science park, the city government posted public tenders for plots T16, T17 and T18 in 2019. Taipei prosecutors said they are coordinating with Ministry of Justice Agency Against Corruption to investigate.
