Debate Tournament and Symposium | Should Our Money Laundering Control Act Introduce a Specific Offense for Handing Over Dummy Accounts?

The Judicial Reform Foundation (JRF) has long monitored systemic judicial issues arising from dummy accounts. The latest development occurred on December 28, 2021, when the Ministry of Justice released a draft amendment to the Money Laundering Control Act, proposing Article 15-1 to criminalize the surrender of dummy accounts: "Those who, without justifiable reason, hand over financial accounts to others and engage in activities listed in Article 2 shall be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than three years." This elevates the issue from a debate over how to determine "oblique intent" to the level of policy debate.

JRF has co-organized this debate tournament and symposium with the Chinese Debate Promotion Association (CDPA), an organization dedicated to promoting public issue critical thinking. Centered on the topic [Should Our Money Laundering Control Act Introduce a Specific Offense for Handing Over Dummy Accounts?], we invited alumni debaters who have already entered the workforce to participate in a debate match. Following the match, Professor Ying-Chieh Lu, Assistant Professor Kuo-Hsing, Hsieh and Mr. Fu-Chi Kuo from National Chung Cheng University were specially invited to provide commentary and engage in dialogue regarding the legal controversies involved in the debate. Through this debate tournament and symposium, we hope to encourage more people to care about the issue of dummy accounts.
