The court ruled that the act of suddenly requesting compensation 15 years after the incident without proper notice was against the principles of good faith and was unfair. According to the legal community on the 28th, the 1st Civil Affairs Division of the Mokpo Branch of the Gwangju District Court ruled on the 22nd of last month that the government lost the lawsuit seeking compensation filed by the government against five people, including Mr. A, a man in his 30s. They were found guilty of assaulting the next soldier, Mr. B, while performing their military service in 2009. At the time, Unable to overcome the bullying in the compound, Mr. B attempted an extreme decision and eventually fell into a brain-dead state. Mr. B filed a lawsuit for damages for medical expenses, claiming that the incident occurred due to the government's neglect of management and supervision in 2017, and won. Five years later, the government paid about 2.7 billion won in compensation. Afterwards, the government last year claimed about 500 million won in compensation from five people, including Mr. A. According to Article 2 of the National Compensation Act. According to the state, when a public official or a person entrusted with public affairs causes damage to another person intentionally or through negligence, the state must compensate for the damage, and can seek compensation if the public official, etc. is grossly negligent. Mr. A and others countered that the government's claim for compensation was wrong. They said that the government paid medical expenses to Mr. B for a long time but did not inform them of this. In addition, they requested dismissal of the claim, saying that they did not notify them of the progress of the civil suit related to this. The court sided with Mr. A and others. “The plaintiff did not notify the defendant of this for several years while paying hospitalization and treatment expenses, and did not notify the defendant of the possibility of claiming compensation even after the civil judgment was issued,” he said. “The time when compensation was notified to the defendants was about 15 years after the incident occurred,” he said. He continued, “The defendants probably believed that the plaintiff would not pursue compensation and other separate responsibilities,” and added, “It is against the principles of good faith to make compensation related to the case at a time when so much time has passed.” He added. Attorney Cho Seong-geun of Daeryun Law Firm, who represented Mr. A, explained, "It cannot be considered appropriate to shift the financial burden in the name of compensation without any notice when a considerable amount of time has passed since the date of the incident. In addition, at the time of the incident, Mr. A and others were ordinary soldiers, not professional soldiers, and therefore the government had a duty to create an environment to prevent harsh acts from occurring."

A group of people who extorted hundreds of millions of won from victims by using opposite-sex encounters as bait has been put on trial. The Ulsan District Prosecutors' Office announced that it had arrested and indicted Mr. A, the head of the investment fraud organization, on charges of telecommunications financial fraud and violating the Electronic Financial Transactions Act in April, and indicted five members of the organization, including those involved in the crime and those responsible for receiving funds, without detention. These people, including Mr. It was discovered that he committed the crime after approaching six people and encouraging them to sign up for a specific site, saying he would match them with aspiring idols or influencers. After registering, the victims were asked to participate in a betting game, saying that they could only meet the person they wanted by raising their level. In the beginning, only a small game participation fee was remitted and the profits were paid straight away, but it was revealed that after the betting amount increased, he received the profits and disappeared. It was confirmed that the amount they extorted from the victims amounted to 600 million won. The prosecution said, "This case is an organized crime with roles divided into the overall plan, execution plan, and money laundering plan," and "The nature of the crime is very bad in that it not only caused financial damage to the victim but also violated the Electronic Financial Transactions Act and the Telecommunications Business Act." Attorney Seo Bong-ha of Daeryun Law Firm, who represented Mr. “The method of inducing subscription and repeated remittance under the pretext of increasing ratings and guaranteed profits is a typical investment-inducing deception method,” he said. “Even if actual profits are initially returned, it is highly likely to be a typical fraud, so if requests for funds are repeated, you should immediately seek advice from the police or a legal expert.” He added, “Recently, it is evolving beyond simple scams disguised as dating to complex forms such as inducing investment or participating in virtual games under the pretense of matching the opposite sex.” He emphasized, “The method of repeatedly requesting money after forming emotional trust is a typical deception method similar to a romance scam, so it is important to quickly seek help from a legal expert if damage is suspected.” Reporter Hwang Jeong-won (jwhwang@mt.co.kr)[View full article] “I will help you meet aspiring idols”… Fraudster who stole 600 million won (Shortcut)

There is less than a week left until the 21st presidential election. During this period, both prosecutors and police have no time to rest. This is because they are suffering from the issue of election fraud. In the 20th presidential election held three years ago, a total of 2,001 people were indicted, and 609 of them were sent to trial. This is a 127.9% increase compared to the 878 election offenders booked during the 19th presidential election in 2017. The background to this trend is the spread of false information through social media and an increase in the number of related complaints. Black propaganda and the spread of false facts surrounding candidates are occurring more frequently. The types are also very diverse. Representative examples include △false propaganda about personal information such as a candidate's education, career, military service, etc. △spreading false information about past criminal records △slandering opposing candidates △exaggerated claims about political achievements. Of course, it is difficult to view the simple act of conveying opinions as spreading false information, but false claims that can significantly affect voters' judgment may be subject to legal sanctions. While general defamation by revealing false information is punishable by up to 5 years in prison or a fine of up to 10 million won, under the Public Official Election Act, the crime of publishing false information for the purpose of losing an elected official can be punished by up to 7 years in prison or a fine of between 5 million won and 30 million won. There are many cases where inadvertently posted SNS posts or photos lead to punishment. It is now widely known that taking authentication photos inside a polling place is problematic, but it must also be kept in mind that taking photos of ballots inside a polling place is also a clear violation. Cases of damaging election posters also occur frequently. This can also be punishable by imprisonment for up to 2 years or a fine of up to 4 million won under Article 240 of the Public Official Election Act. There is a notable precedent in this regard. During the 2022 local elections, a voter was indicted on charges of damaging election posters. However, the court found him not guilty on charges of violating the Public Official Election Act. The idea is that the voter in question was illiterate and could not read, so it would have been difficult for him to recognize that the poster was for election campaign purposes. However, since the poster itself has property value, the crime of property damage was recognized and a fine was imposed. It is also important to be aware of the targets that can be used for election campaigning. In addition, it is important to note that according to Article 60 of the Public Official Election Act, public officials, officers at the level of company commander or higher in the reserve force, members of election commissions at each level, etc. are prohibited from campaigning in principle, as they are in a position to maintain the neutrality and fairness of elections. Of course, the Public Official Election Act has a relatively short statute of limitations of 6 months, so some point out that the investigation and prosecution of election offenders is done in a 'crammed manner'. Nevertheless, it is best to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings or violations, and special care is needed to ensure that the essence of democracy is not damaged by familiarizing yourself with the Public Official Election Act in general.

An employee who issued a cash receipt without the consent of the restaurant owner and was sent to trial on charges of falsifying prior self-records was found not guilty by the appeals court following the first trial by proving that the work was done under the CEO's instructions. According to the legal community on the 27th, the Suwon District Court found A, a woman in her 40s, not guilty at the appellate trial in April on charges of falsifying dictionary records. By June, he was sent to trial on charges of issuing cash receipts without the consent of Mr. B, the restaurant owner. However, Mr. A denied the charges, saying that Mr. B made him report for value-added tax and pay for four major insurances while also ordering him to issue cash receipts and tax invoices. The prosecution requested a fine of 7 million won for Mr. A, but the first trial found him not guilty. In order to issue a cash receipt, you must go through an identity verification process using a mobile phone in the name of the business representative, but this is because there is no evidence that Mr. A obtained Mr. B's mobile phone. The court also determined that Mr. B was aware of the fact that transactions were being made in the name of the company, considering that he instructed Mr. A to pay the value-added tax and attempted to receive a refund. The appellate court also found the original judgment to be correct. When a transaction occurs in the name of a corporation, the issuance of tax invoices and cash receipts is a natural process that follows, so even if there was no separate approval from the final manager, it was judged that it can be interpreted as explicit or implicit consent. Attorney Seung-seok Ko of Daeryun Law Firm, the legal representative of Mr. A, said, “For a charge of forgery of prior electronic records to be recognized, it is necessary to falsely create or change another person's electronic records, and Mr. B delegated a number of tax-related tasks to Mr. A, and this situation was well explained at the trial. He explained, “I could have been found not guilty like the original trial.” Reporter Jeong Cheol-wook[View full article] A person in his 40s was found not guilty on the charge of unauthorized issuance of cash receipts...

Pursuant to Article 258-2, Paragraph 1 of the Criminal Act, the crime of special injury is committed when a person inflicts injury on another person by showing the force of a group or group of people or by carrying a dangerous object. Since this crime only provides for imprisonment without a fine, once the special injury charge is applied, efforts should be made to reduce the sentence as much as possible. The sentence is also not easy. Pursuant to this law, if you hit and injure a person with a dangerous object, you will be punished by imprisonment for not less than 1 year but not more than 10 years. In addition, depending on the severity of the damage, a prison sentence of between 2 and 20 years is possible. In particular, unlike general assault, special injury is not a crime of impunity or pro-crime, so investigation and prosecution is possible even without a complaint from the other party. The actual case I was responsible for is explained as follows. While defendant A was drinking with a work acquaintance, he overheard gossip about his family and committed violence. The problem is that Mr. A's actions did not stop at simple assault. At the time, Mr. A could not control his anger and swung a dangerous object nearby, which caused injuries to the victim's face and head. After being sent to the prosecution, Mr. A was fortunately able to reach an amicable agreement with the victim. As the victim also did not submit a medical certificate, the case appeared to be nearing completion. Although special injuries were applied, an agreement was reached and, considering that it was a first offense, a deferred indictment or summary indictment was quite possible. However, the prosecution's judgment was different. A formal trial was requested and a prison sentence was requested. Accordingly, the court was also in a situation where it could sentence a prison sentence. During the trial, the author emphasized that Mr. A confessed to all of his crimes and received forgiveness from the victim, that his family and friends were hoping for leniency, and that he may be fired from his job if he is sentenced to prison. As a result, I was able to safely receive a deferred sentence (a sentence that suspends the sentence and is exempted after a certain period of time). As in the case above, criminal proceedings cannot be avoided for special injury crimes even if an agreement is reached with the victim. Therefore, one should not hastily judge that the case will be resolved through agreement alone. Therefore, if you are accused of a special injury crime, you should try to lower the punishment as much as possible. However, this process requires a strategic approach and the assistance of experts such as special injury lawyers. Attorney Choi Hyeon-deok of Daeryun Law Firm in Pyeongtaek said, "The first thing to check with an expert is whether the other party provided a cause. If the incident occurred due to the other party's continuous insults, verbal abuse, etc., you can resolve the situation to your advantage." He added, "You should also look at justifiable defense and excessive defense. If it is acknowledged that the other party's actions were intended to protect oneself due to preemptive assault, you can expect a reversal of the situation or a reduced sentence. Other reflections and family circumstances. “We can request a reduction in the level of punishment through explanations, petitions, etc.,” he said.

He then explained, "We will be a target for payment delays due to double regulation of medical devices, foreign exchange control and remittance regulations in countries subject to export and import, and prior approval based on sanctioned countries and sensitive technical information. We then introduced matters that companies should keep in mind during the import and export process," said Kim Gook-il, CEO of Daeryun, saying, "With the introduction of regular foreign exchange inspections by the Korea Customs Service, the proactive response capabilities of import and export companies have become more important than ever." “I hope this serves as an opportunity to take the lead in responding,” he said.

Daeryun Law Firm takes charge of the class action lawsuit and sets a compensation of 1 million won per person "Public interest litigation to protect rights" 235 SK Telecom (SKT) users filed a lawsuit for damages against SKT in relation to the 'USIM hacking' incident.

The lawsuit will be overseen by lawyer Cho Young-gon, a former Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, and lawyer Yeo Sang-won, who will act as legal representatives. Attorneys Cho and others submitted the complaint to the Seoul Central District Court on the same day and said, "Fairness and equity in our society must be realized from trials and lawsuits," and added, "In that sense, this lawsuit is a public interest value for which we are involved." He continued, "Overseas, large law firms are taking part in consumer class lawsuits against global companies such as Google and Facebook. He added, "There are successive cases where we have taken the lead in winning lawsuits," adding, "This shows that class action lawsuits are not a battle that can never be won, and that companies have no choice but to take responsibility when the people join forces." He added, "This SKT class action lawsuit goes beyond the issue of information leaks and is a national task that asks about justice and fairness in the law." He also emphasized, "This lawsuit is a public interest lawsuit to protect the people's right to personal information." A complaint was filed on charges of breach of trust and obstruction of official duties. He then received his first police investigation as a complainant at Namdaemun Police Station in Seoul on the 21st.

Daeryun announced that starting with this lawsuit, it plans to identify applicants and file continuous complaints.

“We must impose strengthened obligations on telecommunication companies and hold them accountable if they violate them, at a level that threatens their existence.” “If not only SK Telecom but also KT or LG U+ are found to have been hacked and customer information has been leaked, we will actively consider filing a complaint for breach of trust.” Gye-Jun Son, head of the corporate legal group at Daeryun Law Firm, met with a reporter for <Security News> in Yeouido on the 26th and said this. On the 1st, Daeryun filed charges against SKT CEO Yoo Yeong-sang and the head of security for breach of trust and breach of trust. He was charged with obstruction of official duties. On the 21st, I responded to the accuser's investigation at Namdaemun Police Station. Group Leader Son is the lawyer in charge of this case. As a result of this accident, public anxiety about the information protection capabilities of not only SKT but also domestic telecommunications companies and platform companies has increased. Immediately after this paper's first report on the 21st ([Exclusive] Did BPF Door, the malicious code that attacked SKT, infiltrate KT servers as well?), the government launched a direct investigation into KT and LG U+. In addition to the two telecommunication companies, platform companies such as Naver, Woowa Brothers, Kakao, and Coupang are also subject to investigation. Group Leader Son said, “If customer information is leaked through hacking of other telecommunications carriers or platform companies other than SKT, we will hold them accountable through complaints and complaints,” and added, “They are all in the same context in terms of corporate social responsibility.” Regarding SKT’s insufficient investment in information protection, he said, “It is not illegal in itself, but it can be seen as a breach of trust.” As the No. 1 business operator, he said. The point is that SKT, which is well aware of the importance of information protection and investment costs, neglected the storage and use of subscribers' information as a person handling entrusted affairs such as storage and utilization of SIM card information. The explanation is that this can be seen as maximizing their own profits. In fact, according to the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) information security disclosure, the annual information security investment amount announced by SKT in 2024, combined with its wired communication subsidiary SK Broadband, is approximately 86.7 billion won. This is 5.9% of the investment in information technology, which is lower than KT (6.4%) and LG U+ (6.6%). Government certification systems such as ISMS are insufficient for telecommunication companies... “Need to strengthen obligations” According to IANS Research, the proportion of investment in information security by American companies last year was 13.2%. All three domestic telecommunications companies are less than half of those in the U.S. Group Chairman Son mentioned the need to improve domestic information protection-related laws and systems. He said, “This accident revealed that the government certification system does not properly evaluate corporate security capabilities and does not provide good follow-up management.” In particular, the ‘ISMS/ISMS-P Simple Certification System’, which was introduced in July 2024 to ease the burden of certification acquisition for small and medium-sized businesses, is not sufficient to check the information protection posture of major telecommunication operators. He said, “There is a need for a paradigm shift from focusing on ex-post punishment to focusing on proactive prevention.” “We must impose obligations, and if they are violated, we must impose effective sanctions that threaten our existence,” he emphasized. Meanwhile, after graduating from Seoul National University, Group Leader Son passed the civil service examination and worked at the Fair Trade Commission for 10 years. After passing the bar exam, he worked at Gwangjang Law Firm and is currently working as the head of the Daeryun Corporate Legal Group. While serving at the Fair Trade Commission in 2009, he participated in sanctions related to allegations of unfair trade in code division multiple access (CDMA) chip rebates, which imposed a large fine on Qualcomm of the United States.
