(Central News Agency, Taichung, 3rd) Former Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Secretary-General and former Taisugar Chairman Wu Nai-ren has been released from prison after serving his sentence for the Taisugar land undervaluation case, but he is facing compulsory execution for a civil compensation of NT$170 million owed to Taisugar. The Taichung District Court stated today that if the commission to the Taipei District Court to arrest Wu is unsuccessful, it will handle the matter according to the law based on subsequent developments.
The Taichung District Court explained that this case involves a creditor legally applying for the debtor's detention. The court completed the pre-detention procedures and notified the debtor to appear. As the debtor failed to appear without justifiable reason, the Taichung District Court legally commissioned the Taipei District Court to execute the arrest.
The court pointed out that if the debtor is arrested and brought to court, the executing judge will, according to the Compulsory Execution Act, decide after interrogation whether to order detention or other dispositions (such as ordering a guarantee or performance within a time limit). If the arrest is unsuccessful, the presiding judge will, based on the actual situation, ask the creditor to report the debtor's actual residence and then handle the matter according to the law based on subsequent developments.
Wu Nai-ren was accused of changing Taisugar's 'lease-only, no-sale' policy during his tenure as chairman, allegedly due to lobbying by former DPP legislator Hung Chi-chang, and selling Taisugar land at a low price to Chun Lung Company, which had sponsored Hung, causing Taisugar losses of over NT$200 million. After a retrial, the Taichung Branch of the Taiwan High Court ruled in March 2014, finding Wu guilty of benefiting Chun Lung Company and sentencing him to nine months in prison.
Wu was imprisoned in May 2014 and released from Hualien Prison in January 2015 after a sentence reduction. Regarding civil liability, Wu and Chun Lung Company were ordered to pay Taisugar NT$110 million in compensation. With interest and derivative debts, the total is estimated at NT$170 million.
Wu's civil compensation case is under the jurisdiction of the Taichung District Court. The Taipei District Court, commissioned by the Taichung District Court in December 2024, first seized approximately NT$17 million of Wu's assets. Taisugar subsequently recovered NT$7 million. In late 2024 and early 2025, Taisugar again filed for compulsory execution with the court. The Taichung District Court commissioned the Taipei District Court to arrest Wu, but the Taipei court has not yet apprehended him. (Editor: Li Hsi-chang) 1150603
