Taipei City Police Officer Suspected of Jade Extortion Fraud Case, Second-Instance Police Officer Not Guilty, Non-Civil Servant Maintained Guilty

The then detectives of the Shilin Police Station in Taipei City, Chung Yushan and Lai Youlin, were accused of cooperating with their friends Chen Hongkai, a female model named He, and Chen's mother Huang Ruochun, to pretend to be a noble lady and extort Lin Nan, the jadeite buyer, to pay NT$4 million in compensation. In the first instance, the New Taipei District Court convicted an accomplice of the Corruption Crimes Act of taking advantage of the opportunity to extort property. In June 2015, Mr. Zhong and in April 2016, Mr. Lai, were both deprived of public power for three years. The High Court of the second instance reversed the verdict and sentenced the two police officers not guilty, but non-civil servants Chen Hongkai, He Nu, and Huang Ruochun remained guilty. Chen Hongkai's second instance commuted the sentence to 2 years and deprivation of public rights for 2 years; He Nu's sentence was commuted to 1 year and April and suspended for 4 years; Huang Ruochun was commuted to 1 year and 3 months and suspended for 4 years. Another accomplice, Lin Weiting, died during the first trial, and the case can still be appealed.
