On July 9, 2024, former Mayor of Taoyuan, Zheng Wencan, implicated in the Huatech land development corruption case involving a bribe of 5 million NT, was initially released on 5 million NT bail. The prosecution appealed, and the High Court remanded the case back to the Taoyuan District Court for a bail increase to 12 million NT. The prosecution immediately filed another appeal. The case is set to be split for trial on the following day, with a decision expected soon. The reasons for the bail decisions were debated in court highlighting concerns of evidence tampering and witness manipulation, with the prosecution arguing against the need for bail. Zheng Wencan left the court with a serious expression. Additional controversies surrounding his bail and appeals continue to be a focal point of media discussions.
