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.

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.
