I urgently needed money so I started a high-paying part-time job. I was just delivering items and receiving money for it, but it turned out those items were drugs. Now I'm being investigated on drug courier charges — what should I do? I'm so afraid of being punished. How can I respond to avoid punishment?

If you are being unfairly charged with occupational embezzlement like your case, please request assistance from this firm's accounting review group.

Occupational embezzlement is stipulated in the Criminal Act, and if occupational embezzlement is established, the criminal can be sentenced to a fine of up to 30 million won or imprisonment of up to 10 years.

Also, if the embezzlement amount is 500 million won or more, the Special Act on Aggravated Punishment for Specific Economic Crimes applies, and a minimum of 3 years of imprisonment can be sentenced.

If it is a charge of defrauding government subsidies, the Subsidy Management Act applies, and if subsidies are used for other purposes, you will be sentenced to up to 10 years of imprisonment or a fine of up to 100 million won.

If you are sued for occupational embezzlement, it is important to prove that there was no intent and that it was a simple omission, or that you were inexperienced in accounting.
