In order to raise the public's awareness of anti-bribery, the Keelung District Prosecutor's Office cooperated with the Keelung Municipal Government's Political and Ethics Office to film a promotional video titled "Justice is Our Spirit of the Game" with the local "Keelung Black Kite Basketball Team". Yesterday, two chief prosecutors led a team of observers to go to schools and military camps to publicize common player bribery laws, and called on citizens to be brave enough to report election bribery and earn a 20 million yuan bonus for election bribery.

Wang Yuanzhi and Li Yaohua, chief prosecutors of the Keelung District Prosecutor's Office, led the guardian team and the Keelung City Honorary Guardian Association yesterday to the National Ocean University and the Navy's 131st Fleet respectively to give anti-bribery lectures. In addition to playing propaganda videos produced by the Ministry of Justice, the Supreme People's Procuratorate and the Keelung District Prosecutor's Office, Wang Yuanzhi and Li Yaohua explained common bribery methods in simple and easy-to-understand terms. Through prize-based quizzes, teachers, students and the national army were guided to master the "Five Keys to Reporting Election Bribery": first contact (close observation), second guarantee (preservation of evidence), third strike (call a dedicated hotline), fourth complaint (prosecution to receive 1/4 of the bonus), and five collars (the verdict is confirmed to receive the remaining bonus).

Chen Bowen, chief prosecutor of the Basic Inspection Bureau, pointed out that the "Fairness is the spirit of our game" promotional video released this time, combined with the heroic appearance of the Keelung landmark and the Black Kite basketball team fighting on the field, conveys that elections, like football games, need to have "fairness" as the core spirit, and violations such as line stepping and cheating will never be tolerated.

Prosecutor General Chen Jiaxiu emphasized that in view of the nine-in-one elections at the end of the year, the prosecutors will make every effort to investigate bribery and crack down on illegal activities, hoping that all people will work together to protect precious democratic values. If you find any suspected illegal election bribery, please be brave enough to report it and call the toll-free number 0800-024-099 (press 4 after dialing) to receive the maximum reporting bonus of NT$20 million.
