A man in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan, believed that he was being bullied by a colleague at work and asked him to leave his job. He then went to the other person’s house to spread rumors. The person called the police and filed a lawsuit, charging him with intimidation and endangering safety. Taiwanese media reported on Wednesday (24th) that the Kaohsiung District Court found him not guilty, and the plaintiff can appeal.
Said he was bullied in the workplace just to humiliate the other person and “make him weak”
The verdict stated that the man surnamed Wu was suspected of being dissatisfied with a former colleague because he believed that he had bullied him in the workplace and caused him to leave his job. On April 18 last year, the defendant went to his former colleague’s house to spread infamy. When the other party found out, he called the police, who arrested him and sent him to court. He testified during the interrogation that at the time of the incident, he discovered that his former colleague had bought a new car. He did so out of anger and had no intention of intimidating him: “I just wanted to humiliate him and make him weak.”
The judge pointed out that the defendant made no other threatening words
The judge said that ghost papers are not a rare thing, nor are they prohibited or dangerous items. Anyone who deliberately throws ghost papers at other people’s residences or other places can usually be interpreted as implying that they will bring bad luck, cause trouble, or even curse them. Unfortunately, the intention is to disturb others. The mere act of throwing ghost notes, if not combined with other threatening or intimidating words, writings or actions, does not meet the objective requirements of the crime of intimidation. The judge pointed out that the defendant had any threatening or intimidating words, words or actions at that time, and the former colleague also said that the defendant had not seen him since he left his job. Therefore, he found that there was insufficient evidence for the crime of intimidation and endangering safety, and he was acquitted. Can be appealed.
