The police are cracking down on white-collar accomplices of fraud groups. The Criminal Investigation Bureau has discovered that at least 20 different white-collar professions are colluding with fraud groups, forming an industry chain that could make Taiwan a fraud kingdom. Past experiences have shown that individuals from the police, judicial, and related sectors have been involved in fraud cases. To further combat this issue, the Criminal Investigation Bureau has already targeted these white-collar members and urged them to surrender and provide intelligence. Additionally, recently exposed cases include lawyers and judges conspiring to secretly assist in fraud, as well as local officials falsifying wills for profit. Fraudulent activities have resulted in daily financial losses of billions, raising concerns about the situation.

The police have launched an investigation targeting the "white-collar accomplices" within the fraud syndicates. In a recent press conference on the results of a special project by the Criminal Investigation Bureau, evidence documents related to the collusion between financing company executives and land surveyors in fraudulent activities were presented.

With the rampant rise of fraud crimes, an increasing number of people are entering this industry due to the potential for high profits, even leading to scenarios akin to "Infernal Affairs," where professionals such as police officers, judges, and lawyers also become involved. A fraud prevention officer from the Criminal Investigation Bureau pointed out that at least 20 different white-collar professions have been confirmed to collude with fraud syndicates, forming a complete fraud industry chain. If various industries continue to be compromised, Taiwan will truly become a breeding ground for fraud.

Traditional telecom fraud groups typically consist of financiers, telemarketers, dummy accounts, and handover personnel, with most members belonging to the blue-collar class. However, the profits from fraud are astonishing, with daily financial losses across the country reaching up to 200 to 300 million NTD, leading many industries to collude with fraud syndicates.

• According to police investigation experience, the involved professions include, but are not limited to:
• Police sector
• Judiciary sector
• Bank employees
• Land surveyors
• Cryptocurrency dealers
• Pawnshops and jewelry stores
• Financing companies
• Car dealers
• Advertising agencies
• Text messaging businesses
• Media and website engineers
• Server operators
• Telecom operators
• Communication stores
• Shell companies
• Hackers
• Public representatives and internet celebrities

The Criminal Investigation Bureau has identified these white-collar accomplices based on financial flows and communication data, considering them as "higher-level" members of the fraud structure for targeted strikes. At the same time, they have called upon them to actively provide internal intelligence; it is currently known that lawyers involved in cases being investigated by the Taipei District Prosecutor's Office have been colluding to use their positional influence to monitor the fraud syndicate.

Additionally, the Criminal Investigation Bureau recently uncovered a "ground master" fraud case, where the involved parties forged wills and collaborated with multiple related professionals to commit fraud, ultimately defrauding approximately 150 million NTD in assets. The fraud syndicate even hired lawyers to appease and monitor the victims, leading to the complete depletion of the victims' savings.
