According to section 106 of Title 17 of PNC, prosecution of most offences under the Convention against Corruption is to be commenced within either three or five years after commission. The prosecution of fraud, deception or a breach of a fiduciary obligation can be commenced within three years after the discovery of the offence. The period of limitation can be tolled when the accused is continuously absent from Palau or has no reasonably ascertainable place or abode or work within Palau, but in no case shall the limitation period be extended by more than four years from the expiration of the prescribed period. Section 717 prescribes the same period of limitation for forfeiture proceedings.
