FINANCIAL CRIME DEFENSE · SECURITIES LAW

Defense in Major Financial Criminal Cases and Securities Exchange Law Cases | From Search and Detention to Financial Crimes of Listed Companies

Major financial criminal cases typically involve corporate decision-making, securities transactions, financial statements, accounting documents, bank transactions, electronic data, and multiple testimonies. Fidelity Law Firm handles securities and exchange law cases, financial crimes of listed companies, and major corporate criminal cases, clarifying the individual criminal liability of company executives, directors, senior managers, and accounting personnel through procedures ranging from searches, police interviews, and detentions to extensive evidence collection and transaction reconstruction.

LINE Inquiries about Major Financial Criminal CasesUrgent criminal cases can be handled by phone directly.Understanding Corporate Criminal Law and White-Collar Crime

When a company is searched, its executives are questioned, or family members are detained, what should be dealt with first in a major financial criminal case?

The first step in a major financial criminal case is not to guess the final sentence, but to confirm the current procedures, the alleged crimes, the company's role, and the evidence held by the prosecutors and investigators. If the case involves the Securities and Exchange Act, transactions of listed companies, false financial statements, corporate embezzlement, or significant cash flows, the first step should be to preserve search warrants, lists of seized items, subpoenas, company organizational charts, and major transaction and financial data. Do not delete electronic data, and do not attempt to coordinate statements with other defendants on your own.

Confirm whether the current action is a search, questioning, interrogation, detention, custody, or indictment.
The prosecution has confirmed that the charges include market manipulation, insider trading, financial misrepresentation, exceptional breach of trust, or other financial crimes.
Distinguish between company transactions, cash flows, accounting records, and the actual role of each defendant.
If detention proceedings have already commenced, simultaneously prepare contingency plans for evidence collusion, destruction of evidence, escape, and alternative detention.

What is the biggest difference between major financial criminal cases and ordinary criminal cases?

Major financial criminal cases can rarely be understood based on just a statement or a single act of crime.

The case may include:

  • Corporate governance;
  • Board of Directors and Internal Decision-Making;
  • Securities account;
  • Bank cash flow;
  • Financial statements;
  • Accounting vouchers;
  • Contracts and commercial transactions;
  • LINE, Email, and mobile phone data;
  • And the conflicting testimonies of several or even a dozen defendants and witnesses.

Therefore, the real difficulty in these types of cases lies not just in the large number of legal provisions, but in the need to re-answer the questions from a vast amount of data:

  • Who proposed the deal?
  • Who makes the decision?
  • Who provided the funding?
  • Who controls the securities account?
  • Who decides on the accounting treatment?
  • Who knows the important news and when?
  • What actual damage did the company suffer?
  • In the end, who benefits?

If a major financial criminal defense only focuses on "whether there was a remittance," "whether there was a signature," or "whether the person in charge is the company," it is usually insufficient to address the real criminal issues.

When handling these types of cases, Fidelity Law Firm will:

people,trade,funds,Accounting,Documents andtime

They should be re-analyzed within the same case framework. The relevant procedures also fall under this category.Major criminal cases and criminal defenseAn important link.

Recently again appointed to handle major securities transaction law criminal cases

Fidelity Law Firm has recently been appointed to handle another major securities transaction law criminal case.

The case involves multiple defendants, investigative detention procedures, and a large amount of corporate, financial, securities transaction, and criminal case files. Attorney Li Yusheng participated in reviewing the case files and providing criminal defense.

Based on the principles of non-disclosure of investigations, protection of the parties' privacy, and safeguarding the interests of the defense, our firm will not disclose case numbers, defendant names, case file contents, or specific investigative facts that have not yet been made public, nor will we use undetermined case outcomes for publicity.

The common characteristics of these types of cases are:

Legal disputes cannot be resolved by looking at just one securities trading law.

Lawyers must simultaneously review company transactions, board documents, financial reports, accounting records, bank and securities transaction records, electronic communications, and criminal files.

What major financial criminal cases truly need is the ability to:

Criminal procedure + corporate governance + financial accounting + transaction flow

The defense was handled together.

What major financial criminal cases has Fidelity Law Firm handled?

Securities Exchange Act

Market manipulation, insider trading, securities fraud and Section 171 cases

False financial reports

Fake transactions, inflated revenue, criminal liability under commercial accounting law and financial statements

Company hollowed out

Unconventional transactions, special breaches of trust, transfer of benefits and transactions with related parties

Directors/Senior Executives

Criminal liability of the chairman, manager, CFO and company head

I. Major Criminal Cases Related to Securities Trading Law

Processing involvesArticle 171 of the Securities Exchange LawMajor criminal charges, including:

  • Market manipulation;
  • insider trading;
  • The financial reports are false;
  • Securities fraud;
  • Unconventional transactions;
  • Special breach of trust;

And criminal cases arising from major transactions of listed companies.

The current statutory penalty for serious crimes under Article 171, Paragraph 1 of the Securities and Exchange Act is imprisonment for a term of not less than three years but not more than ten years. If the property or property benefits obtained as a result of the crime amount to more than NT$100 million, the law provides for an aggravated penalty of imprisonment for a term of not less than seven years.

However, severe punishment does not necessarily mean:

The elements of a crime can be omitted.

Each defendant must still confirm individually:

  • His identity;
  • Actual behavior;
  • Subjective cognition;
  • Trading role;
  • Cash flow;

And the evidentiary link between the crime and its consequences.

Securities trading law research, interviews, and defense in major financial criminal cases;Serious Crimes and Criminal Defense under Securities Trading Law.

II. Stock Price Manipulation and Market Manipulation

Market manipulation cases typically involve a large number of:

  • Securities account;
  • Record of authorization;
  • Transaction records;
  • price;
  • Trading volume;
  • Source of funding;
  • Account relationships;

Communication materials.

Criminal liability cannot be solely due to:

  • There are many transactions;
  • The stock price rose;
  • Trading with multiple accounts simultaneously

It's established immediately.

Further confirmation is required:

  • Is there a relative transaction?
  • Is there someone actually controlling the different accounts?
  • Is there a continuous pattern of buying at high prices or selling at low prices?
  • Does it create the appearance of a vibrant market?

And whether the actor has the legally required intent to manipulate the market.

Securities Trading Act: Manipulation of Stock Prices.

III. Insider Trading

Insider trading cases are usually centered around a very detailed timeline.

The case requires an answer first:

  • What's the big news?
  • When will the news be confirmed?
  • When did the defendant actually become aware of the information?
  • When will the news be made public?
  • When do stock transactions take place?

Not just because:

Company insider stock trading

This would directly constitute insider trading.

Similarly, one cannot only look at whether a transaction is profitable.

What really needs to be compared is:

The time of message formation, the time of awareness, and the time of transaction.

Insider trading cases.

IV. Inaccurate Financial Statements of Listed Companies and the Commercial Accounting Law

Major financial reporting cases typically do not begin with a single financial statement.

What truly needs to be restored is:

  • Original transaction;
  • Order;
  • Shipment;
  • acceptance;
  • bill;
  • Accounting vouchers;
  • ERP;
  • Account books;
  • Accounts receivable;
  • Bank repayment;

Finally, how to include it in the financial reports that are legally required to be declared or announced.

If the company is accused:

  • Fake transactions;
  • Inflating revenue;
  • Circular transactions;
  • Early recognition;
  • Related-party transactions were not disclosed;

Or otherwise make the financial reports false.

The case may involve:

Securities Exchange Law;

Business Accounting Law;

And other criminal liabilities.

However, it is still necessary to distinguish between errors in financial statements and intentional misrepresentation in criminal cases.

Defense against Inaccurate Financial Statements by Listed Companies and Commercial Accounting Law;Legal violations and evidence assessment in commercial accounting law.

V. Fake Transactions, Circular Transactions, and Inflated Revenue

When prosecutors believe a company has engaged in fraudulent transactions, they typically compare the following:

  • Goods flow;
  • Cash flow;
  • File stream;

Accounting flow.

There is a contract, an invoice, and a remittance record.

This does not necessarily mean that the transaction has real economic substance.

in turn:

The file is incomplete.

This does not mean that the transaction does not exist.

What really needs to be confirmed:

  • Whether the goods or services have been genuinely fulfilled;
  • Does the customer have independent needs?
  • Where does the funding come from?
  • Is the payment returned after payment?
  • Who decides to enter the account;

What impact will this have on the financial statements?

Defenses against fake transactions, circular transactions, and inflated revenue.

VI. Hollowing out, irregular transactions and special breaches of trust by listed companies

Commonly used in news:

  • The company was emptied out;
  • Transfer of benefits;
  • Related-party transactions;
  • Five Ghosts Transport

Describe major corporate cases.

However, "hollowing out" is not a single crime name.

The case may involve:

  • Securities Exchange Act - Non-standard trading;
  • Special breach of trust;
  • Business misappropriation;
  • Criminal breach of trust;
  • Commercial Accounting Law;

The financial statements are inaccurate.

What really needs to be checked is:

  • Why did the company make this transaction?
  • Are the terms of the transaction reasonable?
  • What consideration did the company receive?
  • Who is the ultimate beneficiary?
  • How much damage did the company actually suffer?
  • How much did the defendant himself participate?

In particular, Article 171, Paragraph 1, Subparagraph 3 of the Securities Exchange Act imposes specific legal requirements on the identity of the actor, the purpose of the interest, and the damage to the company.

Hollowing out of listed companies, unconventional transactions and special breaches of trust.

VII. Criminal Liability of CFOs, Accounting Supervisors, and Accounting Personnel

In major financial reporting cases, it's not only the chairman or the person in charge who may become the defendant.

  • Chief Financial Officer;
  • Accounting supervisor;
  • Chief Accountant;
  • Accountant in charge;
  • ERP operators

They may be searched or questioned in connection with the case.

But the same financial report,

This does not mean that everyone bears the same criminal responsibility.

What really needs to be distinguished:

  • Who decides on the deal?
  • Who handles only the funds?
  • Who is responsible for recording the transactions?
  • Who will review it?
  • Who signed it?
  • Does anyone know if there are any issues with the front-end transaction?
  • Who raised any objections or requested corrections?

Major financial criminal cases must include:

job title

and:

Actual behavior

separate.

Individual criminal liability of CFOs, accounting supervisors, and accounting personnel.

VIII. Banking Law, Illegal Fundraising and Major Financial Cases

Major financial criminal cases may also involve: if the case involves Articles 29, 29-1, and 125 of the Banking Law, multiple-person fundraising, or underground money transfers, please refer to our firm's specialized services for major criminal cases related to the Banking Law.Criminal defense in banking law, illegal fundraising, and underground money exchange.For details on the relevant constituent elements and the determination of case files, please refer to [link/reference needed].Articles 29, 29-1, and 125 of the Banking Law concerning illegal fundraising..

  • Illegal fundraising;
  • Illegal fundraising;
  • Investment plan;
  • underground money exchange;
  • Virtual assets;
  • Significant capital flows;

And related money laundering controversies.

These types of cases cannot be viewed by simply looking at:

Many people sent money in.

That completes the criminal determination.

Still needs to be confirmed:

  • Fundraising model;
  • Does it apply to an unspecified majority of people?
  • Is there a guarantee of principal or a fixed return?
  • Actual business model;
  • Use of funds;
  • Account control;

And the actual roles of the participants.

The relevant cases will still be included in our firm's overall services for corporate criminal and white-collar crime cases.

Corporate Criminal and White-Collar Criminal LawyersCases involving multiple individuals raising funds still need to be specifically differentiated.Responsibilities of Salespersons and Introducers in Illegal Fundraising CasesIt cannot be determined solely by professional title or the total amount raised by the company.

Major financial criminal cases require more than just criminal law; they require the ability to understand companies, financial statements, and transactions.

Cases involving securities trading laws, financial statement misrepresentation, irregular transactions, and special breaches of trust often involve corporate governance, contracts, accounting documents, financial reports, and banking and securities transactions. If lawyers only read statements and indictments without returning to the company's actual operations and transaction records, it becomes difficult to determine which aspects of the prosecution's criminal narrative are truly valid.

Company and Business Background

Understand the board of directors, corporate decisions, related-party transactions, contracts, and actual business objectives.

Financial and accounting information

Read ledgers, vouchers, financial statements, ERP systems, accounts receivable, company funds, and bank cash flows.

Criminal Procedure and Case Files

Handling searches, seizures, interviews by the Investigation Bureau, interrogations by the District Prosecutor's Office, detentions, and a large amount of case files.

Lawyer Li YushengPreviously served as the legal head of a large accounting firm; our firm was also recently taken on another major securities transaction law criminal case, participating in case file review and criminal defense. The outcome of each case still depends on the actual evidence and the court's judgment.

Defense in major corporate finance criminal cases may also involve corporate law, commercial accounting law, and corporate financial structure. Our firm has a proven track record of defending cases where a defendant was found guilty in the first instance but acquitted on appeal by the Taiwan High Court.

A major corporate financial criminal case resulted in an acquittal on appeal.

Major financial and white-collar criminal cases may sometimes intertwine with government procurement, bribery, offering bribes, profiteering, or other crimes committed by public officials. Although these cases also involve financial flows, decision-making, and multiple testimonies, the legal elements of the offenses differ and should be analyzed separately according to the Anti-Corruption Act and the evidence in each case.

Major embezzlement, bribery and profiteering criminal cases

When a company is searched or questioned by the investigation bureau, the first day is crucial in major financial criminal cases.

Major financial criminal cases often do not begin with prosecution.

Instead, from:

  • Company search;
  • Location search;
  • The Investigation Bureau summoned them for questioning;
  • Mobile phones and computers were seized;
  • District Prosecutor's Office Re-examination

start.

At this point, the most important thing is not to explain everything clearly immediately.

Instead, confirm first:

  • Search ticket range;
  • The cause of action in the case;
  • Current legal status;
  • What items were seized?
  • Who were summoned for questioning at the same time?

The investigation may be reconstructing which transaction.

don't want:

  • Delete data from your phone or company;
  • Create a replacement file that did not originally exist;
  • Employees are required to provide a consistent account;

Contact other defendants to discuss the contents of the transcript.

These behaviors can be further interpreted as:

Destroy evidence;

Serial certificates;

It can even become a reason for detention.

Company executives summoned by the investigation bureau or company searched.

Why are major financial criminal cases particularly prone to entering detention proceedings?

Securities trading law and major corporate crime cases often involve the procedural risks of banking law cases; see reference [link/reference needed].Detention and Custody in Cases of Illegal Fundraising under the Banking Law.

  • Multiple people;
  • A large amount of electronic evidence;
  • The company is hierarchical;
  • Complex financial flows;
  • Overseas transactions;
  • High criminal liability

Features such as...

The prosecutor may therefore argue that:

  • escape;
  • Serial certificates;
  • Destroy evidence

risk.

But not legally:

"Securities and securities law cases = detention is a certainty."

The detention court still needs to follow the law.Criminal Procedure LawProcess them one by one:

  • Is the suspicion of a crime serious?
  • Whom might they be colluding with?
  • What documents have been seized?
  • What other company personnel or electronic data can the defendant control?
  • Did the escape actually take place?

And whether it can be:

  • Guaranteed;
  • Residency restrictions;
  • Restrictions on leaving the country and going to sea;
  • No contact with specific people

Measures such as detention can be used to replace custody.

Has the company been searched, or are family members under investigation for a major financial criminal case?

If you have already received a notice from the Investigation Bureau, a summons from the District Prosecutor's Office, a search warrant, or if the case has entered the stage of requesting detention and custody, you can first provide the relevant legal provisions, company positions, procedural documents, and currently known major transactions so that your lawyer can identify the first procedural and evidentiary issues that need to be addressed.

LINE Inquiries about Major Financial Criminal CasesUrgent criminal cases can be handled by phone directly.

In major financial criminal cases, what truly needs to be established are five lines of evidence.

Article 1: People

Each defendant:

  • What is a formal professional title?
  • What do we actually do?
  • Do they have decision-making power?
  • What information do you know?
  • Does the company, account, or other entity control the company?

Article Two: Transactions

Every major transaction:

  • Why did it happen?
  • Is there a genuine business purpose?
  • What does the company get?
  • Are the terms of the transaction reasonable?
  • Who raised this question?
  • Who approved it?

Article 3: Funds

  • Where does the money come from?
  • Where does it flow to?
  • Should it be returned?
  • Who ultimately benefits?
  • Has the company actually suffered any losses?

"There is a cash flow" only proves that money is moving.

One cannot prove all the elements of a crime on their own.

Article 4: Accounting and Documents

  • contract;
  • Order;
  • bill;
  • summons;
  • Account books;
  • Financial statements;
  • Board minutes;
  • Email;
  • LINE;
  • ERP;
  • Server Log

They must be compared with each other.

What really matters is:

Original transaction

and:

Final accounts and financial statements

Are they consistent?

Article 5: Time

Major financial cases typically span months or even years.

Therefore, it is necessary to establish:

  • Trading hours;
  • Remittance time;
  • Financial statement recognition time;
  • Board meeting time;
  • Time of formation of major news;
  • Stock trading hours;

Search and note-taking time.

The real contradiction in many cases

The difference is only apparent when placed on the same timeline.

Fidelity Law Firm's approach to handling major financial criminal cases

Handle the most urgent procedures first.

If the case is ongoing:

  • Investigation Bureau;
  • District Prosecutor's Office;
  • Court detention court;

The procedural risks should be addressed first.

Unable to slowly study the complete case at home,

That's when I decided how to answer the first statement.

Then break the case down from the prosecution's version.

Major criminal case files are usually organized according to the criminal assumptions of the investigative authorities.

The lawyer needs to return to:

  • Original transaction;
  • Original cash flow;
  • Original file;
  • Original communication

confirm:

Does the prosecution's evidence truly connect every link in the chain?

Each defendant must be analyzed independently.

  • Chairman;
  • director;
  • President;
  • Chief Financial Officer;
  • Accounting supervisor;
  • General Accounting;
  • Account holder;
  • External trading partners

Even if they occur in the same case,

Criminal liability can also be completely different.

The ____ does not work:

"They're all from the same company."

It can replace individual criminal evidence.

Truly understand the company and its accounting background

Attorney Li Yusheng previously served as the legal director of a large accounting firm.

When reviewing case files in major corporate and financial criminal cases, one should not only look at:

Criminal law provisions;

Confession;

indictment.

It is also necessary to understand:

  • Transaction structure;
  • Company authority;
  • Accounting vouchers;
  • Financial reports;
  • Related persons;
  • Cash flow;

And business decisions.

This is also an important working method for FDLAW when handling major financial and corporate criminal cases.

In what situations should you seek immediate legal assistance from a lawyer specializing in major financial criminal cases?

If any of the following situations have already occurred, it is not advisable to wait until after a lawsuit is filed to begin processing:

  • Received notification from the Investigation Bureau;
  • Received a summons from the District Attorney's Office;
  • Company or residence searched;
  • Cell phones, computers, and account books were seized;
  • Others involved in the case have been questioned or detained;
  • The case involves Section 171 of the Securities Exchange Act;
  • Investigators have begun investigating stock trading or securities accounts.
  • Investigators have begun investigating the company for falsified transactions, financial statements, or accounting documents.
  • The directors, chief financial officer, and chief accountant were named as defendants;
  • The company is accused of embezzlement, transfer of benefits, or related-party transactions;
  • The case involves a large amount of money flow or multiple defendants.

The key time points in major financial criminal cases are usually not:

Before the verdict.

Instead:

The first search, the first statement, and the first detention procedure.

In major financial criminal cases, the defense should not only focus on the final sentence.

When the case involves:

  • Listed companies;
  • Securities Exchange Law;
  • Financial statements;
  • The company was emptied out;
  • Huge transactions;
  • Multiple defendants;

Search and detention,

The first thing to answer is not:

Is there any chance of being acquitted in the end?

Instead:

  • What do the prosecutors actually have at present?
  • What role did the defendant play in the whole incident?
  • What evidence has been secured?
  • Which are merely inferences?
  • Which transactions actually have a legitimate business background?
  • What matters need to be raised immediately during the investigation stage?

An effective defense in major financial criminal cases begins by breaking down complex cases:

A person, a transaction, a flow of funds, a document, a point in time.

Then reconfirm whether each element of the crime has truly been established.

Common Issues in Major Financial Criminal Cases

What types of cases are considered major financial criminal cases?

There is no single legal definition. The term "major financial criminal cases" on this page primarily includes those related to the Securities and Exchange Act, false financial statements of listed companies, irregular transactions, exceptional breach of trust, corporate asset stripping, major financial cases, and their associated searches, detentions, and corporate criminal proceedings. The actual determination ultimately depends on the relevant legal provisions and the facts of the case.

How severe are the criminal penalties for violating Article 171 of the Securities and Exchange Act?

The basic statutory penalty for serious crimes under Article 171, Paragraph 1, is imprisonment for a term of not less than three years but not more than ten years, and may be subject to a heavy fine. If the property or property benefits obtained from the crime amount to NT$100 million or more, Article 171, Paragraph 2, stipulates an imprisonment term of not less than seven years. The actual application still depends on the specific crime, the amount involved, and the evidence.

What should the person in charge do first after their company is searched?

First, confirm the search warrant, search area, seized items, and personnel to be questioned, and save relevant procedural documents. Do not delete or modify data on mobile phones, computers, ERP systems, or company records, and do not demand uniform statements from other employees. Next, confirm whether the next procedure will be questioning by the Investigation Bureau, re-examination by the District Prosecutor's Office, or a possible detention hearing.

Does the chairman of the board, as the person in charge of the company, necessarily bear criminal responsibility for all financial reports or transactions?

Not necessarily. While a formal position is an important fact, criminal liability still requires confirmation of actual authority, participation in the transactions involved, knowledge of relevant information, issuance of instructions, and other objective evidence. A high professional title alone cannot supersede the proof of individual elements of a crime.

Is it acceptable to simply hand over inaccurate financial statements to an accountant for processing?

No. Major financial statement criminal cases typically require the reconstruction of original transactions, vouchers, ledgers, ERP systems, financial reports, bank flows, and internal company division of labor. External accountant audits are important information, but they cannot replace the analysis of the individual criminal liability of relevant personnel within the company.

Does a company's transactions involving related parties constitute embezzlement or special breach of trust?

Not necessarily. Related-party transactions are not inherently criminal. It is still necessary to analyze the purpose of the transaction, the price, the decision-making process, the consideration received by the company, the ultimate beneficiary, whether it violated official duties, and whether the company was actually harmed as required by law.

Will someone always be detained in a securities trading law case?

Not necessarily. The court must still determine the necessity of detention based on statutory grounds such as criminal suspicion, escape, collusion, and destruction of evidence, in accordance with the Criminal Procedure Law. Even in serious cases, alternative measures such as bail, restricted residence, restrictions on leaving the country or going to sea, or prohibition of contact with specific persons should still be assessed.

When should you hire a lawyer for major financial criminal cases?

If you have already received notification from the Investigation Bureau or District Attorney's Office, your company has been searched, your mobile phone and computer have been seized, other accomplices have been detained, or you already know that the case involves serious charges such as securities trading law violations, financial statement misrepresentation, special breach of trust, or irregular trading, it is generally not advisable to wait until after indictment to begin preparations. The initial statement, search, and detention proceedings often directly affect the subsequent course of the case.

The first decision in a major financial criminal case usually occurs before the first statement is taken.

In cases involving securities trading laws, false financial statements, corporate embezzlement, and major financial crimes, once searches, interviews, or detention proceedings begin, many facts are quickly established. If company officials, directors, senior executives, or accounting personnel are already facing criminal investigations, it's advisable to first compile notification documents, key transactions, company positions, and current procedures before assessing investigation, detention, and subsequent criminal defense strategies.
