Summary of the 2025 Annual Work Plan Taiwan Taoyuan District Prosecutors Office

This Office has formulated its 2025 annual work plan based on the Executive Yuan’s administrative policies, the Ministry of Justice’s 2025 policy plan, the goals and directives of the Taiwan High Prosecutors Office, and important instructions from higher authorities. The plan is designed to supervise and guide prosecutors in proactively investigating crimes, with a focus on enhancing the prevention and prosecution of major corruption cases ("black gold" crimes), reinforcing efforts to combat organized crime, and continuing efforts in anti-corruption, election bribery, and intellectual property crime investigations.

The Office aims to comprehensively suppress crimes related to drugs, fraud, money laundering, cybercrime, economic offenses, and price gouging. It will also strengthen the investigation of offenses involving land conservation, public order, the safety of women and children, and illegal firearms. The Office will rigorously review drunk driving enforcement cases and reform prosecutorial systems, implementing full courtroom representation by prosecutors to safeguard human rights.

To adapt to the Citizen Judge System, the Office has designated special prosecutors for trials involving citizen judges and has established an evidence disclosure room in line with the pretrial evidence disclosure system. In addition, it continues to implement administrative reforms and citizen-friendly policies by expanding public services and legal education, strictly maintaining the confidentiality of investigations, and carefully exercising coercive measures to improve case handling efficiency and quality. Through these efforts, the Office seeks to build a fair, incorruptible, and powerful image of justice capable of exposing wrongdoing and fighting crime.

The successful implementation of this plan is contingent upon appropriate budget support. The key focal points of the 2025 work plan are as follows:

1.Actively investigate major corruption cases, combining the manpower of all prosecutors and adopting a team-based case-handling approach.
