Just now,
Chai Zhengyuan embezzled 280 million from "Cinema" and was sentenced to 3 years and 6 months
Will be sent for execution soon
Former Kuomintang legislator Chai Zhengyuan was involved in the "three C's case" and embezzled more than 280 million from "Cinema". He was sentenced to 3 years and 6 months for business embezzlement, becoming the only defendant convicted in the entire case. The "Taiwan High Prosecutors' Office" has now sent the determined part of the verdict to the Taipei District Prosecutors' Office for execution. The Taipei District Prosecutors' Office stated that it has received the execution file from the "Taiwan High Prosecutors' Office" and will process the execution according to procedure.
It is understood that the North Prosecutors' Office will send an execution summons to Chai Zhengyuan shortly, notifying him to appear for execution.
The "three C's case" has been under litigation for 7 years, with both first and second instance courts acquitting Ma Ying-jeou, former chairman of the "Central Investment Company" Zhang Zhechen, former general manager Wang Haiqing, and others. Only Chai Zhengyuan was sentenced for business embezzlement to 3 years and 6 months and for violating the "Commercial Accounting Law" to 6 months, which can be replaced by a fine. The unseized criminal gains of 239.19 million yuan will be confiscated. The "High Prosecutors' Office" has filed an appeal against the "three C's case", but since Chai Zhengyuan's business embezzlement cannot be appealed to the third instance, the business embezzlement portion has already been finalized.
Chai Zhengyuan also filed a request for retrial while the prosecution had not yet notified him of the execution, in an attempt to clear his name. During a previous court session, Chai Zhengyuan emphasized that whether he could be cleared depends on whether the court is fair and impartial. The prosecution requested the rejection of the retrial request, and the entire case was ordered to be held for review.
