(CNA, Penghu County, 12th) With local elections approaching at the end of the year, Chief Prosecutor Wu Yi-ming of the Penghu District Prosecutors Office today requested that all judicial units in Penghu step up their efforts in five key areas to combat election fraud, expressing hope for a clean election to protect Penghu's future.
Chief Prosecutor Wu Yi-ming pointed out that whether it is traditional vote-buying, election gambling, foreign interference, fake news, or the creation of phantom domiciles—the five key areas of focus for the year-end elections—all are driven by financial manipulation behind the scenes. He stated that the investigation team should carefully cultivate informants, gather evidence meticulously, and trace the source to uncover those funding efforts to sabotage the election, aiming to deliver clean votes and safeguard Penghu's future.
The Penghu District Prosecutors Office also noted that during the election period, individuals should avoid accepting travel, banquets, or any form of hospitality where the source of funds is unclear or the costs are clearly disproportionate to the itinerary. If such actions involve supporting a specific candidate, they could potentially violate offenses related to the Civil Servants Election And Recall Act.
The voting for Penghu's local public official elections will take place on November 28. The Penghu District Prosecutors Office has been conducting a two-day "Educational Training on Local Public Official Election Investigations and the Anti-Infiltration Act" starting yesterday. Over 80 members of the investigation team, including prosecutors, police, investigators, anti-corruption officers, immigration officials, and military police in the Penghu area, participated. Prosecutor Hsu Wen-chi from the Supreme Prosecutors Office also lectured on "Regulations and Practical Analysis of the Anti-Infiltration Act," enhancing the professional knowledge of front-line investigators in Penghu regarding the Anti-Infiltration Act and demonstrating a strong commitment to investigating cases that disrupt the election.
