林益世雙標

林益世只輕判七年四個月,主要是因為法官認為,林益世當時的職位,無權干涉中聯和中鋼,這兩間「民營公司」的人事,但比較陳水扁"二次金改"的案子,不但被認定有"實質影響力",還被重判18年,綠營立委就痛批這"根本是雙重標準"。

從特偵組的求處無期徒刑,變成只輕判他七年四個月,林益世被平面媒體拍到,臉上藏不住得意的笑容,但綠營立委卻氣炸了。

“法官對林益世輕判,其他共犯都沒有事安全下椿,真的是讓人民對法院徹底失望”

綠營立委拿林益世案和扁案做比較。

陳水扁在二次金改弊案中,收受元大馬家和前101董座陳敏薰的現金,法官採納"實質影響力"為量刑因素,判處他"18年徒刑"。

不過在林益世案,法官認定遭施壓的中鋼、中聯屬於民營公司,推翻了特偵組的"實質影響力說",不過聽聽林益世在關鍵錄音帶中,確曾說出這樣的話。

“國庫的印章都我蓋的,你別看行政院那麼大間,只有三個人上班,就是院長 副院長,跟我三個”

法官的"實質影響力說",讓綠營立委不能接受。

[[民進黨立委 蔡其昌]]
“我想從陳前總統的案子,到林益世的案子,我們看到了司法單位做了不一樣的判決,讓大家覺得,是不是只要是國民黨的人,就一切都不會有罪”

綠營也質疑,關於台北市議員賴素如、前南投縣長李朝卿的貪污弊案,會不會到最後,也是重重舉起,輕輕地放下。

The opposition DPP is accusing the judiciary of having a double standard when it comes to ruling on cases involving pan green and pan blue members. It is furious that the pan blue, KMT figure Lin Yi-shih received a sentence of just seven years and four months after extorting a payment of NT$63 million from a contractor. In a similar case former DPP President Chen Shui-bian was sentenced to 18 years in prison. 

The severity of the accusations against former Cabinet Secretary-General Lin Yi-shih led prosecutors with the Special Investigation Division to request a life sentence. Instead the court only gave Lin seven years, four months. The cover of the Apple Daily on Wednesday revealed the joy felt by the former Ma Ying-jeou aide. The opposition DPP was irate.

The judges were lenient on Lin Yi-shih and let his accomplices off unscathed. The people are completely disappointed in the court.

DPP lawmakers compared Lin’s case with a case involving former President Chen Shui-bian.

During Chen’s second-wave financial reforms program he accepted money from members of Yuanta Financial Holding’s Ma family as well as Diana Chen, a former chairwoman of the Taipei Financial Center Corporation. As president Chen was not a decision-maker who could directly benefit either the Ma family or Diana Chen. But judges ruled that he had substantial influence and sentenced him to 18 years.

The Special Investigation Division used the substantial influence argument again for the Lin Yi-shih case, arguing that he influenced contracts handed out by the China Steel subsidiary CHC Resource Corporation. It based the case on a recording in which Lin bragged about his decision-making power.

Lin Yi-shih Tape
I control the treasury seal. The Executive Yuan is big, but there are only three people who do any work there – the premier, the deputy premier and me.

But the judges said Lin did not have the power to pressure CHC. The DPP feels the courts have a double standard.

Tsai Chi-chang
DPP Legislator
I think the examples of the former President Chen case and the Lin Yi-shih case show that the judicial system has no way of making consistent rulings. Everyone has begun to think that if it’s a member of the KMT, he or she will be found innocent of all charges.

The DPP worries that other high-profile KMT figures accused of corruption will likewise receive light sentences. It will be closely watching the cases involving Taipei City Council Lai Su-ru and former Nantou County Commissioner Lee Chao-ching.
