The report pointed out that the Taiwan Unification Promotion Party, led by White Wolf Zhang Anle, was accused of close ties with organized crime groups such as the Bamboo Union, recruiting spies, spreading united front rhetoric, and even stockpiling arms within Taiwan, posing a threat to national security. However, Taiwan&#039;s penalties for espionage were too lenient. Even the Ministry of the Interior&#039;s order to disband the group last year was stalled by the Constitutional Court&#039;s inability to interpret the Constitution, and its implementation has yet to be carried out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A criminal lawyer from Fidelity Law Firm stated that if Chang An-lo is suspected of leaking state secrets to the mainland, he could face up to 10 years in prison under the National Security Act and the National Secrets Protection Act. If he wants to establish another political party to engage in the same activities, although the establishment of political parties is subject to a registration system, the Ministry of the Interior can refuse registration, preventing him from establishing another political party to continue his espionage activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fidelity Law Firm Criminal Attorney&#039;s View<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Criminal 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&#039;s actual goals. If the case has entered the court, district prosecutor&#039;s office, investigation bureau, or negotiation process, the earlier the information is gathered, the more room for maneuver it will retain.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What should be confirmed first when encountering similar cases?<\/h2>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>First, organize the event timeline, notices,

preservation, detention, imprisonment, settlement negotiations, or media exposure.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"fdlaw-faq-block\"><h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2><h3>When encountering similar
