Former TPP leader Ko Wen-je underwent surgery this morning for kidney stone removal at Taipei Hospital.
He arrived at the hospital at 7am for the surgery, which appears to have gone smoothly.
Ko has been under detention in relation to the Core Pacific City case and for political donations after being indicted on charges of bribery, profiteering, embezzlement, and breach of trust.
He was escorted by medical staff this morning from prison to get the surgery.
His wife, Chen Pei Qi, told reporters that Ko would be staying overnight in the hospital for observation.
