In 2022, Wang Tuzhi, a prosecutor at the New Taipei District Prosecutor's Office, investigated the money laundering case of Guo Zhemin of the 88 Club, issued an arrest warrant, requested the Immigration Agency to temporarily detain the defendant when he entered or left the country, and notified the Criminal Investigation Bureau to execute the arrest and restrict his exit from the country and sea. But what is unexpected is that in October of the same year, Wang Tuzhi clearly knew that Guo Zhemin was about to leave Taiwan, but she instructed not to arrest him for the time being, which is suspected of allowing him to escape. Some people suspected that Wang Tuzhi was released because she had been to the 88 Club run by Guo Zhemin and accepted free hospitality. Such behavior not only severely damaged the image of the judiciary, but also led to her impeachment and sent to the disciplinary court for trial. The verdict was announced this morning (9th), finding him guilty of administrative negligence and fined him a total of 3 months' salary, about 500,000 yuan.
Li Yusheng, an attorney at Fidelity Law Firm, said that the disciplinary court believed that the prosecutor in this case did not impose compulsory sanctions on Guo Zhemin, which led to Guo Zhemin's escape overseas, and that there were major procedural negligence. Therefore, he was punished and fined three months' salary. Such disciplinary punishment means that the court has determined that the prosecutor was indeed negligent, but this is an administrative penalty, which is not too high in amount and will not leave a criminal record in the future.

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.
