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

Under the non-prosecution (不起訴) decision caption «Fraud and related offenses», we defended against allegations of providing a company account and converting cryptocurrency in fraud and money laundering; non-prosecution (不起訴) obtained.

Background

The first page lists appointed counsel Attorneys 謝政翰 and 林宗諺. The defendant was alleged to conspire with a fraud ring, receive illicit funds in a company account, withdraw per instructions, and convert to cryptocurrency to break the money trail.

Defense Strategy

Our attorneys argued lack of knowledge, nominal account-holder status, and weaknesses in financial-flow evidence.

Key Issues
  • Joint intent for money laundering and fraud?
  • Authorized company account use?
  • Can crypto conversion infer criminal intent?
Legal Basis & Argument

Taiwan Criminal Code Art. 339(1); Taiwan Anti-Money Laundering Act; Taiwan Code of Criminal Procedure Art. 253(1).

Disposition

The prosecutor found insufficient suspicion and issued non-prosecution (不起訴).
