Wei Ying-chung Sentenced to Five Years, Nine Months|頂新劣油案魏應充部分罪刑定讞 判5年9個月

Former Ting Hsin Oil and Fat Industrial Co. Chairperson Wei Ying-chung was previously accused of ordering employees to import non-standard oil from Vietnam to Taiwan and refine it into edible oil for sale. In the second trial, he was sentenced to 15 years for violating the Act Governing Food Safety and Sanitation and other charges. Recently, the Supreme Court issued a verdict on part of the charges and sentenced him to a total of five years and nine months.


Wei was previously handed a two-year prison sentence for his role in a gutter oil scandal. In 2018, he was paroled. He was then found guilty of seven charges relating to the Ting Hsin Oil and Fat tainted cooking oil scandal, which meant he would have to return to jail. Prosecutors have already launched a mechanism to prevent him from fleeing. On Nov. 6, Wei had his lawyer conduct a press conference. Through the lawyer, he said he is disappointed by the sentence and will appeal. He also wrote on Facebook that this ruling will not affect the return of the Wei Chuan Dragons professional baseball team.



魏應充曾經因為混油案，被判刑2年入獄，去年假釋出獄，如今，涉入頂新劣油案，被判決有7罪，必須再入監服刑，檢方也對魏應充啟動防逃機制。而魏應充昨天也委請律師開記者會，對於判決表示遺憾，將聲請再審以及非常上訴。也透過臉書發文承諾不影響味全龍復出。
