Dreaded gangster caught after gunfight

GOTCHA Chang Hsi-ming was the most sought after criminal in Taiwan, and he had eluded police dragnets on four separate occasions. Now, his escapades are over

Since Chang was taken alive, he will almost certainly face trial in the near future.

The Criminal Code allows for the death penalty, a life sentence or more than seven years in prison for kidnappers. However, it is unlikely that Chang and his fellow crime-ring members will be sentenced to death, as they are not known to have killed any of their victims. Also, they always released their victims once they received the ransom.
