Taipei City Police Department’s Zhongzheng First Precinct announced that the videos allegedly showing Vice Premier Cheng Wen-tsan entering a hotel with a woman were assessed as ＂inconclusive＂ for deepfake tampering. The examination, completed on November 8 and presented on November 18, concluded that it was impossible to determine the potential of deepfake manipulation in the videos. The case is currently being investigated by the Taipei District Prosecutors Office. The allegations arose from a series of photos and videos posted on social media on October 24, claiming that Cheng had attended parties in Macau and checked into a hotel room with a young woman during his time as a Democratic Progressive Party official in Taoyuan in 2011. In response, Cheng issued a statement asserting that he was not the person depicted in the videos, stating that the footage was old and edited. On October 26, the vice premier filed a defamation lawsuit with the Zhongzheng First Precinct, requesting a forensic examination for deepfakes.
