Acquittal (無罪)
Handling attorney:謝政翰
Case Overview

Under the judgment caption «Taiwan Anti-Money Laundering Act and related offenses», we defended providing accounts for money laundering and fraud; the court acquitted (無罪).

Background

The first page lists appointed counsel Attorneys 謝政翰 and 林宗諺. The defendant was alleged to provide two accounts and online-banking credentials to a fraud ring for sham Shopee auctions (7 transactions totaling NT$ 15,540).

Defense Strategy

Our attorneys argued no money-laundering or fraud intent—merely a nominal account holder; the court found no such intent.

Key Issues
  • Money-laundering and fraud intent present?
  • Can account provision infer complicity?
Legal Basis & Argument

Taiwan Anti-Money Laundering Act; Taiwan Criminal Code Art. 339(1); conviction requires proof beyond reasonable doubt.

Verdict

The court acquitted (無罪).
