Yes, English is not my first language. I'm living in Holland. I have only one last question to you Debbiemoon. What genre will fit to this story? I was thinking (as you can read in the first post) about a comedy action, but now I think a thriller or action is better. What do you think?

The grammar is a little shaky (would I be right in thinking English is not your first language?) Changing your version just enough to tidy up the grammar, I'd make it -

A corrupt prosecutor becomes a victim of corruption himself, and must find withheld evidence that will prove his innocence - which he can only find with the help of his victims.

As for the story concept: I'm not sure I'd go as far as a wow-factor (but that's just my opinion, of course). I think it's a solid story concept with good use of irony (he has to turn to the people who hate him both for help, he's both corrupt and the victim of corruption). If I saw this advertised, I'd probably think "yeah, I'll go and see that" (but probably not "I ?must? go and see that.")

But that's just one person's opinion...

Debbiemoon, what do you think about this:

A corrupt prosecutor who become victim of corruption himself
must find witheld evidence that will prove his innocence that he
can only with the help of his victims.

But what do you think about the logline? Is it attractive? Does it have a WOW-factor
and is it making you curious about the story/movie?
