國民黨舊中央黨部遭行政院不當黨產處理委員會認定為不當取得財產，追徵出售價額11.3億元（約3508萬美元），國民黨提行政訴訟，更一審判決國民黨逆轉勝訴。同時，中國廣播公司被認定是國民黨附隨組織，遭追徵77億餘元（約2.39億美元），黨產會也敗訴。黨產會吞下3連敗，但仍可上訴。
國民黨表示，黨產接連敗訴，證明黨產會透過司法追徵、濫訴的政治清算，毫無正當性。
August 26: The Kuomintang (KMT) former central headquarters was deemed improperly acquired property by the Ill-gotten Party Assets Settlement Committee (CIPAS), which demanded a recovery of NT$1.13 billion (about US$35 million) from the sale. The KMT filed an administrative lawsuit and won the first trial. Additionally, the Broadcasting Corporation of China (BCC) was identified as an affiliated organization of the KMT and faced a recovery demand of NT$7.7 billion (about US$239 million), but CIPAS also lost this case. Despite three consecutive losses, CIPAS can still appeal.
The KMT stated that these losses prove that the judicial recovery and frivolous lawsuits brought by CIPAS are politically motivated and lack legitimacy.
