Lawyer Cheng Hongwei and 18 others were charged with colluding with a fraud ring, prosecuted by the Taipei District Prosecutors' Office under the Organized Crime Prevention Act. Prosecutors expressed frustration as two lawyers leaked information of the fraud group, emphasizing the difficulty in deterring such conduct with current disciplinary measures. The legal community points out that the lack of effective penalties for lawyers who divulge confidential information compromises the deterrence effect, leading to a growing trend of lawyers engaging in unethical practices for financial gain.
