Recognized for "Special Contribution to Combating Next-Generation Fraud"

Prosecutor Chang Chien-Chiang of This Office has long been dedicated to the investigation of fraud and money laundering crimes, achieving outstanding performance. He was honored as a Meritorious Individual for Special Contribution to Combating Next-Generation Fraud in 2025 (R.O.C. Year 114).

The awards ceremony was held on December 10, 2025 (R.O.C. Year 114) at the Southern Region Next Generation Anti-Fraud Strategy Action 2.0 Workshop, organized by the Taiwan High Prosecutors Office. Prosecutor-General Chang Du-Hui of the Taiwan High Prosecutors Office publicly presented the award, affirming his remarkable contribution to the fight against fraud.

Prosecutor Chang Chien-Chiang investigated the "Winnie the Pooh Professional Currency Broker" fake currency broker/mule case. The investigation revealed that the fraud ring's criminal modus operandi was using LINE to scam victims under the guise of investing in Tether (USDT), inducing them to purchase the currency and transfer it to designated wallets. The defendants were, in reality, fake currency brokers/mules defrauding victims of cash, leading to 35 victims and financial losses of nearly NT$100 million. Following the conclusion of the investigation, the Prosecutor indicted the ring members for offenses including Aggravated Fraud and Money Laundering, seeking specific prison sentences of 3 to 9 years. To secure the execution of the forfeiture of criminal proceeds, the Prosecutor also successfully applied to the court for the seizure of four properties (houses and land) belonging to the defendants. This thoroughly dismantled a major fraud and money laundering organization in the southern region, demonstrating the effectiveness of cross-agency collaboration.

Chief Prosecutor Tsai Tzung-Shi of This Office stated that the Office will continue to severely punish fraud and money laundering crime rings, implement specific sentencing requests, actively seize illegal proceeds, and substantively compensate victims for their losses. He also urged the public to raise vigilance against investments that claim "guaranteed profits" or "easy money" to avoid becoming victims and collectively safeguard the property security of citizens.
