Former Taiwanese Presidential Candidate Sentenced To 17 Years In Corruption Case Authored by Dorothy Li & Frank Fang via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours), TAIPEI, Taiwan - A Taipei court on March 26 found a former presidential candidate guilty of corruption-related charges and sentenced him to 17 years in prison , a verdict that has attracted domestic media attention amid the ongoing political deadlock in Taiwan. Ko Wen-je, former Taipei mayor who ran in Taiwan's presidential race in 2024, leaves the Taipei District Court in Taipei on March 26, 2026. Song Pi-lung/The Epoch Times Ko Wen-je, former mayor of Taipei, was convicted on four counts, including accepting bribes, embezzlement, and breach of trust , the Taipei District Court said in a press release. In addition to the lengthy prison sentence, the court said that Ko would also be stripped of civil rights for six years. Taiwan’s semi-official media outlet Central News Agency (CNA) described Ko as the first leader of a major opposition party in Taiwan’s history to be sentenced to prison. Ko founded the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) during his second term as Taipei mayor, and ran a high-profile campaign for the presidency in January 2024. While 66-year-old Ko has the option to appeal, the verdict is likely to prevent him from running for president again in 2028. Under Taiwan’s election law, individuals sentenced to more than 10 years in prison cannot be registered as candidates for president or vice president. Ko was indicted in December 2024. Prosecutors had sought more than 28 years’ imprisonment for Ko, accusing him of accepting roughly half a million dollars in bribes from a web of businesspeople and politicians related to a property redevelopment project in Taipei. In a separate statement, the Taipei District Prosecutors’ Office said that it will promptly review the judgment upon receipt and, if necessary, file an appeal within the legal timeframe. Ko has consistently denied any wrongdoing since his arrest in Se...
