林益世宣判
前行政院秘書長林益世涉貪,向陳啟祥收賄6300萬,特偵組以違背職務收賄等四罪將他起訴,最高可判無期徒刑,而林益世一家更有五個人列為被告,而台北地院今天下午一審宣判,法官認定6300萬是公務員恐嚇取財,另涉犯財產不明來源罪,判刑7年4月,其於相關眷屬,通通無罪。
就在宣判前一刻,林世益和妻子彭愛佳步出家門,前往律師事務所等待判決結果。

“被告林益世的貪污行為,不該當於貪污條例裡面的貪污行為,但是他有利用他的職權,利用職務上的權利跟機會,犯了恐嚇得利”
一審宣判,認定林益世幫爐渣業者陳啟祥喬合約,向中鋼、中聯施壓所收取6300萬不是檢方起訴的貪污所得,而是公務員恐嚇取財,判刑5年6月,另外涉犯財產不明來源罪判刑2年,合併7年4個月,褫奪公權5年,罰金1580萬,已查扣的部份則沒收。

“法院還是做成部分有罪的判決,在辯護人的立場感到遺憾,就這一部分有罪的部分會研究提起上訴”
法官認為林益世不涉及貪污,連帶的讓母親沈若蘭的共同收賄、妻子彭愛佳以及2位舅舅的洗錢罪等,通通被判無罪。也讓綠營不能接受。

“我覺得這跟外界預期落差蠻大,我們期待司法就是說,對同樣的案件屬性相同的案件,司法的標準要一致”
對照當初檢方在結辯庭以「豺狼當道」痛批林益世惡劣,求處無期徒刑,如今一審結果出爐,檢方表明將提出上訴。
Opposition party says sentence for former Cabinet official falls short of expectations (2013/04/30)
Prosecutors had sought a life sentence for a former KMT Cabinet official accused of extorting bribes and jail terms for four of his family members accused of related crimes. On Tuesday Lin Yi-shih was found guilty of lesser crimes and sentenced to seven years, four months. The other defendants were found not guilty.
On Tuesday afternoon Lin Yi-shih and his wife Peng Ai-chia left their home to go to their lawyers’ office. It was there they heard the verdict.

The corrupt acts carried out by the defendant Lin Yi-shih do not meet the conditions for corruption contained in the Anti-Corruption Act. But he did take advantage of his authority, using the rights and opportunities afforded to him by his position, to profit through menacing actions.
