Help the fraud group to take advantage of the evil! Policewoman "Sister Bentley" secretly checked personal information and made false records. She denied asking for bribes and asked for a lighter sentence in the second trial.

Former Taipei City Police Zhongshan Branch police officer Qiu Yi-hsuan used to drive a Bentley to work and was dubbed "Sister Bentley." However, she was accused of using the police system to illegally check personal information and assisting members of a fraud syndicate to embezzle stolen money. The New Taipei District Court of first instance sentenced her to 11 years in the non-executive section and one year in the easy section for violating the duties of the police, illegally collecting and using personal information, and using a civil servant to publish false official documents. After the case was appealed, the debate in the High Court ended today. Qiu Yixuan emphasized that she did not ask for bribes, but admitted that she helped her then-boyfriend steal people's personal information due to "emotional exchanges" and asked for a lighter sentence.

The first-instance judgment pointed out that while Qiu was serving at the Zhongshan Branch, she had the authority to assist in the investigation of crimes. However, she logged into the M-Police system with her personal account on her own or at the request of others, and illegally inquired about the age, registration, criminal record, and vehicle registration of many people. Some of the inquiry results were also sent to others through WeChat.

In addition, in order to embezzle NT$10 million from the upstream of the fraud group, fraud member Guo Xuanliang arranged for Qiu to meet at a teahouse in Taipei City through Qiu Yixuan's boyfriend Guo Zhifan in July 2023. He hoped that Qiu would create false search and seizure records, thereby falsely claiming to the upstream that NT$10 million had been seized by the police, and offered a reward of NT$300,000. Ms. Qiu said she could produce it, but asked that the 10 million yuan be divided in a ratio of "7 to 3". She and Guo Zhifan would take away 7 million yuan, and Guo Xuanliang would get 3 million yuan. In the end, Guo Xuanliang did not agree because he thought the price was too high.

The New Taipei District Court discovered that another member of Guo Zhifan's fraud group, the upstream "Shanhe", attempted to "take advantage of others" by stealing NT$3 million. Through Guo Nan's request for Qiu's assistance, Qiu made a fake search and seizure record, filled in false information such as "NT$3 million" and other false information, stamped it with the Zhongshan Branch unit stamp, took a photo and sent it to Guo Nan, who then forwarded it to "Shanhe".

The New Taipei District Court determined that Qiu knew that the search and seizure duties were not actually performed and was not allowed to arbitrarily create false records. She still demanded 7 million yuan as a reward for making false seizure records. Guo Zhifan and Guo Xuanliang jointly reported to civil servants For soliciting bribes, the evidence of the three people's crimes was clear. According to the law, Qiu Nu was sentenced to a fine of 11 years in prison, and a fine of 1 year in prison. Guo Zhifan was sentenced to 2 years and April, and Guo Xuanliang was sentenced to 1 year and 6 months.

After the case was appealed, the High Court held a hearing today. Qiu Yixuan emphasized that she did not ask for a bribe. She only admitted that she had helped steal people's personal information because of "emotional exchanges" with her boyfriend at the time, and asked the court for a lighter sentence. The entire case debate has concluded, and the presiding judge's court has announced that the verdict will be pronounced on December 15.

After the incident, Ms. Qiu was dismissed from her post with two major demerits. She refused to accept the punishment and filed an administrative lawsuit. The Taipei High Administrative Court considered that the relevant criminal case had not yet been determined. In April this year, it ruled to stop the proceedings and wait for the criminal verdict to be finalized before rehearing.
