China Taiwan Network reported on May 16 that former Taiwan leader Ma Ying-jeou was prosecuted by the prosecution for leaking secrets and was acquitted in the first instance. After the prosecution appealed, the Taiwan High Court concluded the verdict on the 15th, resenting Ma Ying-jeou's sentence of four months in prison and was fined . As soon as this incident happened, public opinion rose everywhere on the island. According to Taiwan's United Daily News, the Taiwan High Court imposed a lighter sentence to Ma Ying-jeou in April in accordance with the provisions of the "Communication Guarantee and Supervision Law", and the fine of Yike was converted to one day with 1,000 yuan (NTD, the same below).

According to Taiwan's "East Sen News Cloud", Ma Ying-jeou's case was caused by a secret report from former Attorney General Huang Shiming in early September 2013, accusing Ke Jianming Guan of the "Minister of Justice" Zeng Yongfu made his case acquitted in the second instance. Later, Ma Ying-jeou called Huang Shiming through his secretary and asked Huang Shiming to report again to former "Premier Administrative" Jiang Yihua and former Deputy Secretary-General of the Malay Office Luo Zhiqiang, which triggered the September political struggle.
Huang Shiming was finally sentenced to one year and three months in prison. After Huang Shiming was sentenced to finalization, the Taipei District Prosecutor's Office believed that Ma Ying-jeou asked Huang Shiming to report to Jiang Yihua at that time to be suspected of criminal offense. He filed a public prosecution against Ma Ying-jeou in March 2016. Now, the second instance found Ma Ying-jeou committed the crime of "civil servant leaking information without reason" in the "Tongbao Law" and was sentenced to four months in prison and fined 120,000 yuan.
As for Ke Jianming's personal prosecutor Ma Ying-jeou for leaking secrets and aggravated defamation, the first instance sentence was not accused. Ke Jianming appealed, but the High Court believed that the evidence presented was insufficient to prove the offense. In addition, Ma Ying-jeou pointed out that Ke Jianming's remarks on "judicial verdict" could be publicly evaluated, so the appeal was rejected and the entire case was not accused.

Ma Ying-jeou's office spokesman Xu Qiaoxin posted on Facebook (facebook) that at the moment the verdict was released, a 3-second cheer came from the office of the Attorney General of the North Procuratorate, which was so loud that it could be heard in the nearby corridors. However, in addition to being prosecuted for leaks, the Beijing Procuratorate is currently in full swing to investigate four major cases: "Three Middle School Case", " Big Dome Case ", "National Development Court Land Case", and Fubon and Beiyin Case. Xu Qiaoxin said that no Taiwanese leader could let his "Premier" see the media reports and then hastily faced an incident similar to the case of "Legislative President" and the opposition party whip in this case "Guanshu Judicial" case. Therefore, Ma Ying-jeou called on "Premier" Jiang Yihua to discuss with the Massachusetts Deputy Secretary-General Luo Zhiqiang to respond to the possible storm. This is what a responsible Taiwanese leader should do.
Xu Qiaoxin said that the person who "judicial prosecution and investigation" now protects the "judicial customs theory", but the whistleblower is convicted. The Beijing Procuratorate now plans to "investigate" more "cases", and it should be imagined how it will develop in the future. Today's court's judgment represents that Taiwan's leaders or "Prince of the Executive" must turn a deaf ear to major events in the future, otherwise they will be convicted and sentenced to imprisonment.
According to Taiwan's " China Times Electronic News ", Luo Zhiqiang expressed his grief for this verdict. He said, "The judicial person who speaks of the Guan said is alive, and the anti-judicial person who speaks of the Guan said is dead. The real corrupt officials are in high positions in the temple, and the honest Ma Ying-jeou was sentenced, "Taiwan! It’s so sad! ”

According to Taiwan's "Dongsen News Cloud", Kuomintang spokesman Hong Mengkai analyzed the reasons for the High Court's judgment. Although the leaders of Taiwan are broad civil servants, the first instance has shown that Taiwan's leaders also have reasons to "block the illegality", which means that when they know that a criminal act has occurred, they use extraordinary means to prevent illegal acts. In addition, Taiwan's constitutional provisions give Taiwan leaders the right to inter-court coordination. There is only one person in Taiwan, that is, the leader of Taiwan. Today's re-verdict is undoubtedly a restriction of Tsai Ing-wen's powers.
Hong Mengkai said that he absolutely supports Ma Ying-jeou's defense of innocence and appeal to the end, and he also believes that the people of Taiwan will firmly believe in the concept of "not believing in justice and not being able to return justice", and if the political mafia wants to be omnipresent but cannot come up with any visible political satisfactory report card, such a political party will only wait for replacement again, without exception. He said, "The High Court does not review the first-instance judgment and self-proclaimed evidence. On the eve of 520, it was impossible to show specific political achievements. Today, Ma was sentenced to guilty. Is it necessary to pay the policy report card to the basic green camp?"

The island's free writer Los Angeles also said on Facebook, (Is it) this "the court gave Tsai Ing-wen the second anniversary gift? "The 'independence', Ke Jianming and Ah Bian are going to celebrate with champagne?"
netizens left a message, "It's all clear from the appointment of the procurator general of the PRK," "They demonstrate how others can liquidate them after the change of dynasty." Some netizens said that they were afraid that Ma Ying-jeou would choose the leader of Taiwan again.
Taiwan political commentator Huang Zhixian posted on Facebook, saying, "As early as 2015, we knew that one day, there will be a case where Ma Ying-jeou will be convicted." She said that the Green Camp had four major plans to chase Ma Ying-jeou:
First, judicial pursuit of Ma Ying-jeou can achieve the effect of establishing authority, retaliation, shifting focus and disrupting the blue camp. Establishing authority is to the society, the judicial circle and the blue camp. Who is not afraid of lawsuits? Who dares to provoke the DPP?
Second, when the green camp is in chaos, it will divert the focus of social attention.
Third, the largest political star in the Blue Camp is guilty and pave the way for future lawsuits, and then Ma Ying-jeou's halo will be stripped away layer by layer.
Fourth, Chen Shui-bian was imprisoned for corruption, of course the green camp also had to take revenge on Ma Ying-jeou and let his own people out of anger.
Therefore, after chasing Ma Ying-jeou, he won four goals in one go. Ma Ying-jeou was finally guilty, and everything was long in the script.

According to reports, after the High Court announced the verdict, Ma Ying-jeou pointed out in an interview that the results of this judgment are different from the previous three related judgments, and any problems must be clarified. He emphasized that this is a lawsuit regarding constitutional provisions in Taiwan, not just for his personal rights, but for the exercise of powers by the leaders of Taiwan, "I must clarify, I will appeal!"
asked a reporter, is it as the Ma Office said, "The Supervisory Committee" Chen Shimeng's words and deeds since taking office have caused a chilling effect in the Dharma Realm? Ma Ying-jeou said whether it was a public comment on society; and when asked about the verdict, it was "obviously insufficient to show off", Ma Ying-jeou retorted, "If such a case goes home and sleeps, it is called insufficient to show off." At that time, many people gathered at the scene and shouted slogans to cheer for Ma Ying-jeou.

In fact, since Ma Ying-jeou entered politics, there have been more than 100 cases of defendants, and this is the first time he has been convicted. In his life, his defendant was temporarily listed as a candidate for defeat, and most of the rest were signed by prosecutors because there was no direct evidence. Among these hundreds of cases, the person who loves to sue Ma Ying-jeou was Huang Diying, who sued Ma Ying-jeou for a total of 4 times.
was compiled by Taiwan's United Evening News. In addition to this instigation and leaking secrets, Huang Diying also filed a lawsuit against Ma Ying-jeou against the case of the big dome map and the case of unknown source of property. In addition, Taipei City Councilman Yan Shengguan also sued Ma Ying-jeou twice, namely, Ma Ying-jeou used special fees to raise Ma Xiao-jeou and Maokong cable car cases, but his sentence was abolished because the violation of the law involved, and the report did not testify later, and Ma Ying-jeou was not prosecuted in the end.
In the hundreds of cases of Ma Ying-jeou's defendants, the complainants also include former Taiwan deputy leader Lu Xiulien, Taipei Mayor Ke Wen-je , former Tainan Mayor Xu Tiancai, artist Guo Meizhu and others.

Xu Tiancai is not satisfied with the upgrade of the "Five Capitals" in 2010, the Kuomintang launched a TV advertisement about the "Local System Law" saying that Xu Tiancai supports the transfer of township and private representatives after the upgrade of the "Five Capitals" and accused Ma Ying-jeou, who was then the chairman of the Kuomintang, and he was accused of increasing defamation, but the Northern Procuratorate believed that the matter could be publicly evaluated, and Ma Ying-jeou would not prosecute.
Guo Meizhu claimed that she had won Ma Ying-jeou's tie for 250,000 yuan at the auction, but she did not receive the goods after many years, so she sued Ma Ying-jeou for fraud. But Ma's appointed lawyer said that Ma did not agree to sell the tie at all. In the end, the prosecutor determined that both parties had a wrong understanding and Ma did not cheat, and the whole case was signed; Guo Meizhu also lost the case when she filed a civil claim with the court.

Lu Xiulien questioned that Taipei City Silver was sold at a low price by the Taipei City Government under Ma Ying-jeou's rule, and Fubon Financial Holdings, so she accused Ma Ying-jeou of being involved in the crime of being profitable. Ko Wen-je, as the current mayor legal person, reported to the Taipei City Government for the "Daoth Dome Case", that Ma Ying-jeou made a profit from a long-term success. However, the two cases are still under investigation. Whether Ma Ying-jeou will make another defeat remains to be decided by the "judicial".
According to statistics from the Taipei District Procuratorate Office, since Xing Taizhao became the procurator general on July 1, 2017, the Beijing Procuratorate has signed 160 cases of criminal cases involving Ma Ying-jeou and no prosecution. In addition to the "Great Dome Map Profit Case", there are also cases of party-producing such as "China Guangxi" at a low price, selling "Guofa Yuan Land", Fubon and Beiyin case, and the case of embezzlement of 200 billion yuan of party-producing Kuomintang.
