Gao Hongan can escape safely if he can do this. Global News reporter Dan Qinghuai<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">News link:<a href=\"https:\/\/globalnewstv.com.tw\/202308\/208691\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/globalnewstv.com.tw\/202308\/208691\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Hsinchu Mayor Gao Hongan has been prosecuted by the Beijing Prosecutor&#039;s Office. Whether he can keep his mayoralty depends on whether he can escape without guilt. According to outside analysis, the key lies in how to prove that the assistant &quot;voluntarily&quot; paid public funds and whether there was any &quot;private use of public funds.&quot; Therefore, the lawyer said that if he wants to fight for innocence, he must prove that every expenditure was used for official purposes. However, according to the prosecutor&#039;s investigation, Gao Hongan even used official expenses to buy double eyelid patches, shampoo, etc. It may be quite difficult to escape without guilt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Explanation of legal issues related to the Corruption Crime Ordinance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Lawyer Li Yusheng from Fidelity Law Firm stated that the alleged act of fraudulently claiming assistant fees in this case is a civil servant who takes advantage of his position to defraud others to hand over his own property or the property of a third party. He will be sentenced to a fixed term of not less than seven years. Imprisonment may be combined with a fine of not more than NT$60 million. If the suspect confesses to committing the crime during the investigation and hands over the proceeds of the crime, his sentence can be reduced according to the Corruption Punishment Regulations, but this is not the case in this case. The case will now be transferred to the court for trial. If the defendant pleads guilty in the future, the judge may give a lighter sentence based on his good attitude after committing the crime. On the contrary, if the defendant is finally found guilty, he may be punished according to law. However, if Mayor Gao wants to make a defense, if it is just that the official expenses he spent exceed the expenses he declared, this method of defense may not be enough. He may need to give a full explanation of each expenditure before it can be compared. There is a chance of getting a not guilty verdict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">The legislative purpose of the Corruption Offenses Ordinance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The Corruption Prevention and Control Regulations (hereinafter referred to as the &quot;Corruption Prevention Law&quot;) are an important law and regulation. Its legislative purpose is to maintain social fairness and justice, combat corruption, and protect the legitimate interests of public resources. This article will delve into the legislative purpose of the anti-corruption law and its key role in maintaining social order and national stability.<br><strong>1. Preventing abuse of public power<\/strong><br>One of the primary purposes of corruption laws is to prevent the abuse of public power. Government agencies and public sector officials must uphold the principles of impartiality, fairness and honesty when performing their duties to ensure the rational distribution of resources and the protection of interests. Abuse of power, solicitation of bribes or other forms of corruption can lead to a breach of trust in power, undermine society&#039;s trust, and even damage the country&#039;s image. Anti-corruption laws ensure that public officials do not abuse their power by clarifying illegal acts and corresponding penalties, thereby safeguarding the legitimate use of public resources.<br><strong>2. Protect national and public interests<\/strong><br>Another important legislative purpose is to protect national and public interests. Corruption often leads to squandering and waste of public resources, undermining a country&#039;s financial stability and sustainable development. The implementation of anti-corruption laws will help ensure that government funds and resources are properly allocated to meet the needs of public services such as education, health care, and infrastructure. This helps improve the country&#039;s economic prosperity and social well-being while ensuring the continued use of the country&#039;s resources.<br><strong>3. Promote a society governed by the rule of law<\/strong><br>One of the legislative purposes of the anti-corruption law is to promote the construction of a society ruled by law. In an environment rife with corruption and embezzlement, the principle of the rule of law is often ignored and the law no longer functions as a medium for fairness and justice. By enacting and enforcing anti-corruption laws, the government sends a strong message about upholding the rule of law, demonstrating that the law will apply equally to everyone, regardless of status or wealth. This encourages members of society to abide by legal provisions and take legal responsibility for violations, thereby helping to build a just and orderly society.<br><strong>4. Improve government transparency and accountability<\/strong><br>The legislative purpose of anti-corruption laws also includes improving government transparency and accountability. Transparency is a key feature of government behavior that helps the public monitor government decisions and actions. By requiring government agencies and officials to disclose financial information and report assets and liabilities, anti-corruption laws increase government transparency and reduce opportunities for abuse of power. In addition, it strengthens accountability systems by allowing the public to lodge complaints about government misconduct and ensuring that those involved are appropriately punished.<br><strong>in conclusion<\/strong><br>The legislative purposes of the Corruption and Crime Regulations are multi-faceted, aiming to maintain social fairness and justice, prevent the abuse of public power, protect the interests of the country and the public, promote the construction of a society ruled by law, and improve government transparency and accountability. The implementation of this law and regulation is crucial to social stability and national prosperity. It sends a strong warning against corrupt practices, emphasizes the importance of the principle of the rule of law, and ensures the legitimate use of public resources, thereby benefiting the entire society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Fuda Law Firm<br>Line\uff1a<a href=\"https:\/\/line.me\/ti\/p\/@fdlaw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/line.me\/ti\/p\/@fdlaw<\/a><br>Tel:<a href=\"tel:0277093611\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">0277093611<\/a><br>Facebook:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/fudalawyer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/fudalawyer<\/a><br>website:<a href=\"https:\/\/fdlaw.com.tw\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/fdlaw.com.tw\/<\/a><br>e-mail:<a href=\"mailto:info@fdlaw.com.tw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">info@fdlaw.com.tw<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is the mayoralty in jeopardy due to fraud?
