Former Taoyuan City Mayor Zheng Wencan sentenced to 12 years in prison amid corruption scandal
Despite the gravity of the charges and the detailed indictment, Zheng Wencan continues to deny the accusations. His refusal to acknowledge his wrongdoing has been met with frustration by various political figures, including Kuomintang legislator Niu Xuting. Niu criticized Zheng's persistent denial, describing it as “hard to accept” given the comprehensive nature of the evidence presented. He emphasized that Zheng's case not only tarnishes the integrity of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) but also has serious repercussions for urban development projects in Taoyuan.
