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.
