To bolster the nation’s efforts against fraud, the Executive Yuan approved two draft bills and amendments to existing laws. These include a bill focusing on preventing harm from fraud crimes and another concerning the use of science and technology in investigations. Amendments to the Communication Security and Surveillance Act and Money Laundering Control Act were also endorsed. These legislative proposals will now undergo deliberation in the Legislative Yuan.
Premier Chen Chien-jen emphasized the importance of staying ahead of evolving fraud tactics. The government regularly reviews its anti-fraud strategies, drawing from international experiences and legal standards. Following extensive consultations, the government crafted the fraud crime harm prevention bill tailored to Taiwan’s needs, aiming to address existing legal gaps and position Taiwan as a leader in global anti-fraud efforts.
The proposed bill on science and technology in investigations, along with amendments to related laws, were designed to empower law enforcement with modern tools to combat fraud. Amendments to the Money Laundering Control Act aim to align Taiwan’s regulations with international standards. Together, these legislative initiatives aim to swiftly uncover and dismantle fraud networks.
Premier Chen highlighted that these legal reforms will streamline anti-fraud procedures, reflecting Taiwan’s commitment to combat fraud and safeguard citizens’ assets. This marks a significant milestone in Taiwan’s legal framework against fraud, ensuring enhanced security for people’s property and wealth.
