Prosecutors Are Required to Obtain Licenses for Investigating Economic Crimes. MOJ Joins Efforts with FSC to Organize Professional Banking and Finance Courses.

　Minister of Ministry of Justice (MOJ), Shi Mao-Lin indicated that prosecutors who are responsible for investigating economic crimes in the future will be required to obtain certificates in advance.  Before taking any action pertaining to investigate economic crimes, prosecutors should have come up with thorough planning and collect sufficient evidences.

　MOJ spends a lot of efforts to elevate the quality of handling cases.  MOJ cooperates with Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) to organize courses on banking and finance, in three different levels – A, B, and C.  These courses include topics such as procurement, insider trading, finance, money laundering, and defalcation etc..

　Other than being professional, prosecutors are also required to take sophisticated approaches in conducting investigations.  Minister Shi pointed out that prosecutors should have thorough planning before action and consider the size, timing and method of search.  MOJ requests “sophisticated” rather than “tactless” prosecution, which is to reduce possibility of disputes and fully achieve justice.  (2008.04)
