Taipei corruption lawyer: These 3 situations are the most dangerous!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">As a civil servant, you suddenly receive a notice from the prosecutorial agency that you are involved in the Anti-Corruption Ordinance? This bombshell may leave you at a loss. The Anti-Corruption Ordinance is a powerful tool used by the government to punish civil servants for crimes. The penalties are extremely severe, starting at 5 years and even up to life imprisonment! But don&#039;t panic,<strong>Taipei lawyer specializing in corruption cases<\/strong>Tell you:<strong>Many cases actually have room for defense<\/strong>The key is<strong>Find the right lawyer and seize the golden time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Fidelity Law Firm has<strong>20 years of criminal litigation experience<\/strong>We specialize in civil servant corruption cases. We have a deep understanding of prosecutorial and investigative methods and are able to accurately analyze blind spots in cases. Below, we analyze the key defense points for corruption charges!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-e83de2d00cf379c6048c3e62b05d2449\"><strong>How serious is the Anti-Corruption Ordinance? These actions could easily break the law!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Articles 4-6 of the Anti-Corruption Ordinance define the three types of civil servants who are most likely to violate the law:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Bribery<\/strong>(Article 4): Public servants who demand, promise or accept bribes may be punished<strong>Life imprisonment or imprisonment of 10 years or more<\/strong>, and also have to pay a fine of no more than 100 million yuan.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Crime of profiteering<\/strong>(Article 6): If a civil servant knowingly violates the law and still seeks to benefit others, he shall be punished<strong>Imprisonment of more than 5 years<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Crime of Unknown Source of Property<\/strong>(Article 6-1): If a civil servant\u2019s property increases abnormally but cannot be explained, it may be presumed to be the proceeds of corruption!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Many civil servants<strong>I think I&#039;m just doing a favor<\/strong>,or<strong>I think this is an unspoken rule in the industry<\/strong>, but was found guilty of corruption. Especially in recent years, the investigation and prosecution methods have become more and more sophisticated.<strong>Line conversations, communication records, and financial flow tracking<\/strong>Any of these may become evidence in court and must not be taken lightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-e1855259210815fba47db9d88f4c4033\"><strong>How can civil servants recover from corruption? Taipei&#039;s corruption lawyer offers three key strategies.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1ed35e9714c83430c5b7957996368e17\"><strong>1. The Golden 72 Hours: Be sure to prepare these before the interrogation!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Never write a letter of repentance on your own<\/strong>: You may think that pleading guilty can result in a lighter sentence, but in practice this often makes the case more complicated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Conduct a simulated interrogation with a lawyer first<\/strong>: Prosecutors often use leading questions, and Fidelity Law Firm&#039;s lawyers can help you<strong>Anticipate questions and formulate answer strategies<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Organize the complete evidence<\/strong>: Including meeting records, official correspondence, and conversations on communication software, these may become the key to overturning the verdict.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-bf0ae0d3ba31c108f9a9f45ed4a61efe\"><strong>2. Defense focus: The crime of corruption actually has some room for attack!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">We have handled numerous corruption cases and have found that many cases can be broken through from the following perspectives:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Prove that there is no consideration relationship<\/strong>(For example: the money received was a birthday gift, not a bribe for official duties)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Applying Supreme Court Decisions<\/strong>(For example, the 101st Taiwan High Court ruling No. 461 emphasized that &quot;there must be specific matters for the request.&quot;)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Questioning the strength of the prosecution&#039;s evidence<\/strong>(For example: Was the Line conversation taken out of context? Was the monitored translation incomplete?)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-f9418c72da153133b1094983b8c7baaa\"><strong>3. The best chance of getting a suspended or reduced sentence<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Even if the evidence is clear, we can still:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Voluntarily return the proceeds of crime<\/strong>(The sentence can be reduced according to Section 8 of the Anti-Corruption Ordinance)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Proof of &quot;surrender&quot; or &quot;confession of accomplices&quot;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Present favorable character evidence<\/strong>(For example: excellent performance over the years, enthusiastic about public welfare, etc.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Fidelity Law Firm once helped a section chief-level civil servant successfully negotiate a very low sentence from 10 years. The key was that we accurately grasped the flaws in the prosecution&#039;s evidence!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8870517dbd2077f6804068ea4e02514e\"><strong>Why must you choose Fidelity Law Firm for corruption cases? 3 advantages of 20 years of practical experience<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b630867727d181e4adf0012bcaf34d99\"><strong>1.

For example, last year, in a case involving a city official accused of bribery, we discovered that the prosecutor&#039;s wiretapping procedures were illegal, successfully leading to the exclusion of key evidence!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2b6ef0169b2f2ef95dd4d0a77400b61e\"><strong>2. Adept at applying the Supreme Court\u2019s latest insights<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Legal opinions on corruption cases are constantly changing. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Judgment No. 123 of 2012<\/strong>Emphasize: &quot;Receiving money does not mean there is a quid pro quo relationship&quot;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Judgment No. 456 of the 110th year of Taiwan<\/strong>Points out that &quot;the crime of profiting requires proof of &#039;knowingly violating the law&#039;&quot;<br>These latest judgments are powerful tools for us to defend our clients.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-d7ca5564c3f3a189bdbd90f05467cc16\"><strong>3.

We provide:<br>\u2705 <strong>Investigation phase<\/strong>: Accompanying the court to appear in court and requesting evidence preservation<br>\u2705 <strong>First to third trial<\/strong>: Exquisite legal offense and defense, writing of appeal briefs<br>\u2705 <strong>Extraordinary Relief<\/strong>: Petition for retrial, extraordinary appeal<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a1e64b544f4644e110f04e859f707cf6\"><strong>Accidentally violated the Anti-Corruption Ordinance?
