Enticed by the money offers, the court justice broke the laws he swore to uphold…off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
The attorney, Cheng and others had leaked out the intel to the scam rings, the district attorneys found that Cheng kept a sum of funds in the office of the district court judge of Chiaotou, Shih's office. The Taipei D.A.'s Office indicated Shih, Cheng, and the attorney, Yang on money laundering, and disclosure of secrets yesterday.
The Justice Department pointed out, that Shih had been pulled off duty this May, that the district attorney's office also sent Shih to the Justice Evaluation Committee, to discuss, the Justice Department will not favor him if his actions were found illegal.
The Chiaotou District Court stated, that based off of the judge's laws, before Shih was found guilty, suspension would be the severest of punishment for him, the evaluations of what occur afterwards, and the means of his punishment, are not the duties of the district court to decide, pending the results of investigations, they will follow the recommendations of the justice department.
Last year, Cheng got into the fraud ring with Lien leading, worked with the attorney, using the opportunities of sitting in the investigations, leaking the details of the interrogations to the mastermind of the fraud ring, on May 13th, the district attorney indicted eighteen attorneys and their assistants.
Shih and Cheng both graduated out of the law department of Poli-Sci University, and worked for a famous construction company from before, last year, he was assigned to Chiaotou District Court. The district attorneys found, between the end of December of last year and January of this year, Cheng paid a down payment of $800,000N.T.s, and on January 29th this year, Yang took another $2.5 million N.T.s to the district court parking lot, handed the money off to Shih, and Shih kept the cash in his office for safekeep, and he'd planned to hand the money off to the realtors later.
In May the district attorneys searched Shih's office and dorm, and, interrogated Shih, Yang, Cheng and his older sister on suspicion of money laundering charges, after the interrogations, Shih was out on a bail of $800,000N.T.s, Yang out on a bail of $400,000N.T.s, while Cheng was released with no bail.
The district attorneys' investigations pointed out, that Shih, Yang knew that Cheng was receiving the funds, that they knew the sums may include the criminally illegally gained profits, and still invited Cheng to invest in a construction project in Kaohsiung, and the two sides agreed that Cheng was to pay the down payments of $3.3 million N.T.s, with Shih, using his status as government employee, taking out a loan from the banks, to pay for the last payments.
The district attorneys confirmed, that Shih and Yang had committed the offenses of money laundering; Cheng and Yang are also, charged on leaking the intel that's not related to national defense, and the three were pursued for the extra charges.
And so, you still got enticed by money, because, it's too good to turn down, I mean, all you have to do, is, keep those notes and pass them onto the criminal lawyers that are coming to court to defend their, clients for fraud charges, and by doing this, you not only broken the trust of the people in the justice system, you'd also, acted against your own, moral conscience, and now, you deserve to get punished by hard jail time, and not just a simple slap on the wrist of getting your justice status, revoked!
