Teacher Wang, Po-Chi was interviewed by Public Television News Network: Over 7800 Overseas fugitives, Police Point out the Lack of Anti Escape Mechanisms, Scholars Call for Amendment CHEN,KUAN-HSUN, CHEN,LI-FENG /Taipei Report Release time: October 26, 2023 19:31 Update time: October 26, 2023 20:37 The Criminal Bureau and Thai police teamed up to escort two wanted individuals back to Taiwan from abroad yesterday (25th), but so far, the number of fugitives overseas has exceeded 7800. The police have admitted that it is difficult to apprehend, and there are loopholes in the anti escape mechanisms of units such as the Ministry of Justice. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also not implemented the passport cancellation process for wanted individuals. Some scholars suggest that in addition to starting from the legal perspective, horizontal connections between departments should also be strengthened. After declaring his rights to the man, the fraudster surnamed Jiang was stopped and sentenced to imprisonment. He fled the country for many years and was recently arrested in Thailand. The police said, "If you think there are any issues with our arrest process, you can apply to the court for a trial On the same day, he was deported, including the man surnamed Li, who drugged and molested a woman many years ago. He was sentenced to three and a half years in prison and secretly fled the country before being executed by the prison. YANG,KUO-SUNG, the head of the International Section of the Criminal Bureau, said, "In terms of passport cancellation, the Consular Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is relatively passive and requires us to use letters and documents for police inspection The man surnamed Li fled all the way, his passport was not cancelled, and he was able to crawl around outside. The Criminal Bureau has called for a review by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as the number of arrests by the police is only in single digits per year, far from keeping up with the increasing list of fugitives. YANG,KUO-SUNG, the head of the International Section of the Criminal Bureau, pointed out that "suspects have taken advantage of the investigation window and even left the country with legitimate travel documents and passports. The Ministry of Justice in China, as well as relevant units such as the High Inspection Office and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, hopes to strengthen the domestic aspect Including the President of Guobao Group, CHU,KUO-JUNG , there are over 7800 overseas fugitives in Taiwan, and the police have also identified and investigated the lack of anti escape mechanisms. Before sentencing serious criminals, anti escape measures should be initiated first, and the release of wanted documents should not be delayed. Yun-Hua Yang, a professor at the Law Department of Chengchi University, mentioned that "many drafts of the Criminal Procedure Law, such as some criminal detention systems or how to implement them quickly, have been issued, but they have not been passed in the Legislative Yuan Wang, Po-Chi, an associate professor at the Department of Criminal Justice of Ming Chuan University, believes, "We see some people who are swaggering out by plane, right? The airport didn't stop them either, so they went out. If this is the case, isn't it very blind? There is a problem with the horizontal connection mechanism Scholars have stated that it is not possible to escape from the sentencing sentence to the execution of the prison within a month. During this period of time, it is necessary to pay more attention. It is also recommended to use coercive force to require major criminals to personally appear in court to hear the verdict. The most important thing is to integrate cross departmental meetings and establish effective horizontal connections, so as not to let criminals escape before being later released for wanted.
