The prosecutor's office has launched the third round of Zheng Wencan's corruption case! Yesterday (10th), the High Court revoked the bail and held that the Taoyuan District Court ignored the "substantial influence" and therefore remanded the case for further review. The lawyer said that the so-called substantial influence means that although it is not within the scope of his job, he can still use political influence to change the decisions of other civil servants, so it also falls within the scope of corruption crimes. Political figures who have had "substantial influence" in history include former President Chen Shui-bian and former Executive Yuan Secretary-General Lin Yishi. Whether Zheng Wencan will see history repeat itself has also attracted continued attention from the outside world.
Lawyer Li Yusheng of Fidelity Law Firm said: "According to the law, the requirement for the crime of corruption is that the bribery is in consideration for official behavior. The so-called substantial influence means that although it is not within the scope of the job, one can still use political influence to Changing the decisions of other civil servants is therefore within the scope of the crime of corruption. If Zheng Wencan received bribes in this case, and whether he had substantial influence on the land development project may be one of the keys to whether he can post bail in this case."

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.
