Taipei prosecutors appeal the verdict and seek a harsher sentence
Key takeaways
- Both the defense and prosecutors have now appealed, moving the case out of the first-instance verdict stage and into High Court review.
- Prosecutors are using the appeal to press for broader acceptance of disputed bribery evidence and a heavier sentence, which could materially reshape second-instance exposure.
- The appellate fight keeps the case politically salient because it links the Core Pacific City corruption allegations with contested political-donation counts.
