A criminal lawyer from Fidelity Law Firm stated that Chen Pei-chi was summoned for questioning, and he should have received the summons several days ago. This indicates that the prosecutors and investigators have determined that he may have known about or even handled related bribery and other financial transactions. In order to prepare for the prosecutors' and investigators' questions, he sought out a lawyer specializing in money laundering to prepare for possible interrogations in advance.

Opinion of Fidelity Law Firm

Lawyers at Fidelity Law Firm advise that in similar cases, one should not only look at the news headlines, but also return to the evidence, legal requirements, procedural stages, and the client's actual objectives. If the case has entered the court, district prosecutor's office, investigation bureau, or negotiation process, the earlier the information is gathered, the more room for maneuver it will retain.

What should be confirmed first when encountering similar cases?

• First, organize the event timeline, notices, contracts, chat logs, photos, videos, and payment information.
• Confirm the current stage of the process: it may be just a consultation, you may have been interviewed, you may have received a summons, you may have entered into court proceedings, or you may need to file a lawsuit to seek compensation.
• Assess whether there are immediate risks such as statute of limitations, evidence preservation, detention, imprisonment, settlement negotiations, or media exposure.
