差點出境！　余政憲涉南港展館弊案　列被告聲押
NOWnews 更新日期:2008/10/15 18:00 社會中心／綜合報導

台北地檢署偵辦南港展覽館弊案，將前內政部長余政憲改列為被告，並且在15日下午約談到案，其實余政憲今天上午原本打算出國，卻被航警攔下，並告知已被限制出境，檢察官懷疑余政憲有逃亡之虞，已經向法院聲請羈押。

在被約談到案之後，余政憲一個人默默走到北檢法警室，臉色看起來相當凝重，緊握的雙手看得出來他相當的緊張，因為時任內政部長期間捲入了南港展覽館弊案，疑似將評選名單給了目前被羈押當中的前力麟建設董事長郭銓慶，北檢在經過清查後懷疑郭銓慶行賄的總金額大約是3000萬元。

檢方因此在15日上午提訊了在押的郭銓慶追查案情，也馬上發出傳票以被告身份傳訊余政憲在10月16日出庭作證，卻沒有想到余政憲不但請假，還在15日上午 8點30分傳出與3名友人想要出境到澳門，立刻被航警攔下，並且告知余政憲已經被限制出境，只不過這個舉動被外界解讀是否余政憲打算畏罪潛逃，檢察官也逃亡之虞為理由，已經將被告余政憲聲請羈押。

另外，特偵組辦扁家密帳案，也在15日下午2時通知海巡署緊急將5人限制出境出海，這5人分別是曾擔任前總統李登輝、陳水扁的隨扈陳國勝、李宗仁以及鄭光麟、廖松欽以及李志中，其他3人的身份為何？是否也為扁家人頭戶，檢察官正全力清查當中。

Taipei prosecutors filed a request to detain former minister of the interior Yu Cheng-hsien (余政憲) on suspicion of corruption after he was detained at Kaohsiung Airport as he tried to leave for Macau yesterday.

Judges were still considering the request at press time.

Taipei District Prosecutors’ Office Spokesman Lin Chin-chun (林錦村) said that prosecutors had barred Yu from leaving the country on Tuesday after they listed him as a defendant and summoned him over alleged corruption concerning the construction of Taipei’s Nangang Convention Center.

Prosecutors suspect that the Rich Group colluded with government officials over a large number of bids for major construction projects. Yu allegedly has a close relationship with the group.

Lin said that Yu was planning to fly to Macau with three friends yesterday morning. After he was stopped by the police, one friend decided to stay with him while the other two went to Macau.

Lin said that Yu seemed unaware that he had been barred from leaving the country. He was escorted to the Taipei District Prosecutors’ Office and after two hours of questioning, prosecutors applied to detain him.

“He [Yu] was heavily involved in the [Nangang] project and we are afraid he might collude with other potential defendants in the case,” Lin said.

Unaware that he had been barred from leaving the country?
Hahaha, he tried to leave the country when he had an appointment with the special investigation team the next morning!
No wonder the judge detained him on grounds that he may flee.............
