Public officials face complex motives, beliefs, and interests in performing the duties that could potentially distract them from performing their duties. A conflict of interest situation, even if it does not lead to a preference for personal gain, will undermine the efficiency of the public authority, which in turn undermines the legitimacy of the ruling apparatus. Therefore, prevention and control of conflict of interest are essential, while traditional criminal interventions can not control this situation. This research seeks to investigate the challenges of judicial criminal intervention in a situation of conflict of interest in order to provide a model for effective criminal intervention in this situation. The research method is qualitative.
