林務局屏東林管處潮州工作站陳姓巡山員,涉嫌與業者結夥購市價逾876萬元的國有珍貴紅豆杉及肖楠,還代租倉庫、裝監視器,一審雖判無罪,但二審高等法院高雄分院認定陳男不但知情還參與犯罪,逆轉改判3年徒刑、併科罰金300萬元。

判決指出,陳男任職於屏東林區管理處(現為農業部林業及自然保育署屏東分署)潮州工作站擔任技術士,負責巡山等業務長達21年。2020年2月,陳男得知謝姓男子有意購買一批數量高達58支紅豆杉原木、樹頭、角材及659片肖楠木片的龐大珍貴木材,陳男不僅先後透過LINE通訊軟體看貨,還前往高雄車場及台中廠房確認為紅豆杉。

陳男更主動代謝男向不知情房東承租屏東鹽埔倉庫存放原木,並在2020年3月間前往台中現場記錄原木重量、協助雇用吊車將木材南運,甚至還親自雇工在鹽埔倉庫架設監視系統,保護這批高達876萬5654元的貴重木,謝男等人最終則以800萬元向賣家完成交易。

陳男另涉製造毒品案遭警方搜索鹽埔倉庫而曝光,陳男在法庭上矢口否認犯罪,辯稱自己只是巡山員、不懂鑑價,賣家當時有出示公家機關開立的「木材搬出單」,他甚至拍照請教潮州站同事,同事評估單據應屬真品,絕無故意買贓物,屏東地方法院採信並判無罪。

檢方不服上訴,高雄高分院審理時,法官指出,賣家拿出的木材搬出單是20年前古老單據,品項僅記載「紅豆杉」,根本沒有本案扣案的「肖楠」;且公家機關標售貴重木,必定會在原木首尾處打上鋼印烙印,本案58支龐大原木竟「無一處有烙印」,極不合理。

法官認為,陳男擔任巡山員逾21年,對貴重木交易規則與烙印規範理應瞭若指掌,見到品項不符、毫無烙印且價格龐大的木材,絕不可能不知是盜伐贓木,不僅未舉報,還積極協助租倉、記錄重量及裝設監視器,可視為共犯,因此撤銷一審無罪判決,依《森林法》結夥二人以上使用車輛故買貴重木贓物罪判徒刑3年、併科罰金300萬元,全案仍可上訴。
