According to Taiwan media reports, Wu Jianhong, a photographer of former Mayor of the Democratic Progressive Party of Kaohsiung City, burgled into the mayor's office of Han Kuo-yu in 2019 for burglary. The case was heard for the first time yesterday (17th) afternoon at the Kaohsiung Court. Wu Nan argued in court that he "forgot all" what he stole during the four invasions. The judge played the surveillance screen and denounced "Don't want to use confession to exchange for probation!"
50-year-old Wu Nan was once a technician of the Secretariat Office of the Works Department of the Kaohsiung Municipal Government. He was transferred to the photographer of Chen Ju, a former Mayor of the Democratic Progressive Party. Therefore, he held the key to the mayor's office of the four-dimensional administrative center of the municipal government and could enter and exit by himself.
According to the prosecutor's investigation, Wu Nan had used the late night four times to sneak into the mayor's office of the Four-dimensional Administrative Center of Kaohsiung Municipal Government to steal. On the evening of February 1, 2019, when Wu invaded for the fifth time, he was discovered by the mayor's secretary and called the police to send him to the police. Afterwards, Wu Nan handed over a total of 136 items such as red envelope bags, lanterns, hats, Spring Festival couplets, calendars, and stationery, confessing his crimes.
Lawyer Wu emphasized that Wu Nan steals small things just to distribute them to relatives and friends as a souvenir, and it is not of high value. In addition, Wu confessed to committing crimes and having a good attitude, and hoped that the judge would give him a probation or a commutation of sentence. But the judge questioned that Wu Nan did not hand over all the items stolen, and said "I can't remember" what he stole in the four intrusions. In response, the judge transferred out the surveillance camera screen of Wu's invasion into the mayor's office for the third time at 6:55 pm on January 6, 2019. The screen showed Wu's sneaking in with a cross-pack on his backpack and leaving with two books in his right hand 10 minutes later.
Wu Nan said at first that it was " calendar , given to relatives and friends", and later changed it to "have other things, but they were kept in paper bags." However, the judge found that Wu Nan did not hold the paper bag at all at the time, thinking that Wu Nan's statement was not honest. The judge emphasized that the value and number of items stolen for theft are the key to sentencing, and Wu Nan should not easily plead guilty in exchange for probation. If Wu Nan does not mention the detailed facts of stealing, it will be difficult to sentence or confiscate, and it will be handed over to the review court for decision in the future.
