Hsinchu Mayor Kao Hung-an was sentenced to 7 years and 4 months in prison and deprived of her civil rights for four years in the first instance for embezzling assistant fees. She is currently suspended from office. However, she denied the crime and appealed. Today (the 16th), the second instance verdict was announced, reversing the acquittal on the embezzlement part. She was also sentenced to 6 months for causing public officials to make false records, which can be commuted to a fine of NT$180,000. Kao Hung-an responded that she will complete the reinstatement process as soon as possible. However, the prosecution also stated that it is considering appealing, and the mayor's reinstatement may still be uncertain.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should a civil servant do if he/she is summoned for questioning due to corruption?
It is recommended to first organize your job authority, decision-making process, transaction records, financial flow and meeting materials, and consult a lawyer before being questioned by the Investigation Bureau, the Independent Commission Against Corruption, or the prosecutor's office.
What are the key points of attack and defense in cases involving seeking personal gain, offering bribes, and accepting bribes?
The focus is usually on whether the law is violated, whether there is a quid pro quo relationship, whether there is an illegal benefit, and whether the perpetrator was aware that the act was illegal.
Can bail be granted or travel restrictions lifted in corruption cases?
An assessment can be made, but it depends on the suspicion of the suspect, the state of the evidence, the risk of escape or collusion, and the alternative measures that can be proposed.
