Association Texas Hold'em gambling — non-prosecution (不起訴)

Non-prosecution (不起訴) decision
Handling attorney:謝政翰
Case Overview

Under the non-prosecution (不起訴) decision caption «Gambling offense», serving as appointed defense counsel, we defended against operating a gambling venue for profit and assembling gambling; investigation closed with non-prosecution (不起訴).

Background

Page 1 of the non-prosecution (不起訴) decision lists Attorney 謝政翰 as appointed counsel and multiple defendants; page 2 states the gambling caption and non-prosecution (不起訴). The file describes poker operated under a social association name: entry fees of NT$ 3,400, NT$ 6,600, or NT$ 11,000, rake of NT$ 400, NT$ 600, or NT$ 1,000, chips exchanged 1:10, and tables A/B/C/D with dealers.

Defense Strategy

Our attorneys explained the activity's nature, rake structure, and whether Taiwan gambling offense elements were met, arguing insufficient suspicion and requesting non-prosecution (不起訴).

Key Issues
  • Operating a gambling venue?
  • Are chips and entry fees gambling property?
  • Profit motive in association activity?
Legal Basis & Argument

Taiwan Criminal Code Art. 266, Art. 268 (gambling); Taiwan Code of Criminal Procedure Art. 253(1).

Disposition

The prosecutor issued a non-prosecution (不起訴) decision.
