SID Spokesman
We have learned that both Minister of Justice Tseng Yung-fu and Taiwan High Prosecutors Office Head Chen Shou-huang allegedly misused their influential positions at the request of Legislative Yuan President and Legislator Ker Chien-ming. Tseng illegally ordered the High Prosecutors Office not to make an appeal on Ker’s not guilty verdict from the lower court, thereby making the ruling final.

Recordings released by the SID indicate the behavior in question began when Ker received the verdict on June 25.

SID Spokesman
Ker Chien-ming contacted High Prosecutors Office head Chen Shou-huang, who in turn told the prosecutor on Ker’s case not to appeal the verdict due to budget limitations. Ker later contacted Legislature President Wang Jin-pyng who also contacted Chen. Chen felt he should notify Justice Minister Tseng Yung-fu, who told Wang that he would take care of it. On June 29, he told Wang that everything was OK. 

The SID said that since there is no evidence of illegal exchanges or bribery, it will handle the case according to administrative regulations. Tseng Yung-fu’s case will be dealt with by the country’s top supervisory agency, the Control Yuan; Chen’s will be handled by the Public Functionary Disciplinary Sanction Commission. functionary公務員The SID said, however, that it won’t take action against Wang or Ker since it does not have authority over legislators.

曾勇夫關說

特偵組今天上午大動作召開記者會，史無前例的將法務部長曾勇夫，以涉及關說案，移送監察院調查。特偵組發現，今年六月，曾勇夫接受立法院長王金平關說，要求高檢署，對立委柯建銘背信案的更一審無罪判決，放棄提起上訴，最後導致無罪定讞。

特偵組辦案辦到頂頭上司，涉嫌接受關說，讓立法委員柯建銘涉及的背信案，在更一審改判無罪後，放棄上訴。

[[特偵組代理發言人 楊榮宗]]
“我們發現法務部曾勇夫部長，台灣高等法院檢察署陳守煌檢察長，涉嫌接受立法院王金平院長，立法委員柯建銘關說，而違法指示高檢署承辦檢察官，就柯建銘委員被訴背信，更一審無罪判決未予上訴，致該案無罪定讞”

特偵組進一步公佈監聽錄音，從6月25日，柯建銘收到無罪定讞的判決書，就開始一連串的關說行為。

[[特偵組代理發言人 楊榮宗]]
“柯建銘委員先找了陳守煌檢察長，陳守煌檢察長就找了承辦檢察官到辦公室，說我們有預算壓力建議檢察官不要上訴，後來柯建銘又找了王金平院長，來找陳守煌檢察長，陳守煌認為這事要讓部長知道，所以才請王金平找曾勇夫，後來曾勇夫也跟王金平表示，他會處理他會弄，後來在6月29日時候，再回覆王金平院長說都OK了”

特偵組因為沒有查到對價關係，無法證明雙方有行賄貪汙事實，所以暫時以行政法規，分別將曾勇夫移送監察院，陳守煌移送懲戒會調查。但特偵組無權管轄立法委員，所以無法對王金平以及柯建銘作任何行政處置，至於柯建銘因此無罪定讞的背信案，特偵組還要研議，是否提請重啟審判。
