Several months ago, I wrote an article on the issue of inflated project quantities in official misconduct cases, and since then, I’ve been continuously reflecting on this problem. Recently, I’ve handled two more cases that share certain similarities. In particular, I’ve recently discussed this issue with various investigators and gained insight into their perspectives and attitudes toward such cases. These factors have led me to suspect that the practice of inflating project quantities in the construction engineering sector may not just be an isolated phenomenon but could instead be taking on a broader, more widespread trend. This naturally brings to mind another similar situation: interest derived from genuine principal loans has, at first, been identified as bribery involving officials—but over time, what began as isolated cases has gradually evolved into a widespread practice. Consequently, I can’t help but feel concerned about the issue of inflated project quantities in official misconduct cases: Are these merely isolated incidents with regional characteristics, or will they continue to expand? Therefore, I’ve decided to revisit this issue once again, to examine more carefully just what the nature of inflated project quantities in the construction engineering sector really is—and whether it truly constitutes a crime. This article builds upon my previous piece, adding some new perspectives along the way.
