Articles 4-6 of the Anti-Corruption Ordinance define the three types of civil servants who are most likely to violate the law:

1. Bribery(Article 4): Public servants who demand, promise or accept bribes may be punishedLife imprisonment or imprisonment of 10 years or more, and also have to pay a fine of no more than 100 million yuan.

Many civil servantsI think I'm just doing a favor,orI think this is an unspoken rule in the industry, but was found guilty of corruption. Especially in recent years, the investigation and prosecution methods have become more and more sophisticated.Line conversations, communication records, and financial flow trackingAny of these may become evidence in court and must not be taken lightly.

How can civil servants recover from corruption? Taipei's corruption lawyer offers three key strategies.

1. The Golden 72 Hours: Be sure to prepare these before the interrogation!

• Never write a letter of repentance on your own: You may think that pleading guilty can result in a lighter sentence, but in practice this often makes the case more complicated.
• Conduct a simulated interrogation with a lawyer first: Prosecutors often use leading questions, and Fidelity Law Firm's lawyers can help youAnticipate questions and formulate answer strategies.
• Organize the complete evidence: Including meeting records, official correspondence, and conversations on communication software, these may become the key to overturning the verdict.

2. Defense focus: The crime of corruption actually has some room for attack!

We have handled numerous corruption cases and have found that many cases can be broken through from the following perspectives:

• Prove that there is no consideration relationship(For example: the money received was a birthday gift, not a bribe for official duties)
• Applying Supreme Court Decisions(For example, the 101st Taiwan High Court ruling No. 461 emphasized that "there must be specific matters for the request.")
• Questioning the strength of the prosecution's evidence(For example: Was the Line conversation taken out of context? Was the monitored translation incomplete?)

3. The best chance of getting a suspended or reduced sentence

Even if the evidence is clear, we can still:

• Voluntarily return the proceeds of crime(The sentence can be reduced according to Section 8 of the Anti-Corruption Ordinance)
• Proof of "surrender" or "confession of accomplices"
• Present favorable character evidence(For example: excellent performance over the years, enthusiastic about public welfare, etc.)

Fidelity Law Firm once helped a section chief-level civil servant successfully negotiate a very low sentence from 10 years. The key was that we accurately grasped the flaws in the prosecution's evidence!
