The impact of returning stolen goods and compensation on sentencing is that the court will reduce the sentence and give a lighter punishment based on the extent to which the return of stolen goods and compensation can compensate for the damage. According to the law, those who have committed corruption crimes can avoid or reduce the occurrence of damaging consequences by truthfully confessing their crimes, sincerely repenting, and actively returning the stolen money and property before filing a public prosecution. If the amount of corruption is relatively large or there are other serious circumstances, the punishment may be lighter, reduced or exempted.
