A man in his 50s who was indicted on charges of molesting a co-worker at a company dinner was found not guilty. The court's judgment was that "there is no evidence to support the victim's testimony." According to the legal community on the 4th, the Pyeongtaek branch of the Suwon District Court acquitted 50-year-old Mr. A, who was sent to trial on charges of forcible molestation on the 15th of last month. Mr. A forcibly assaulted Mr. B, a 52-year-old co-worker from the same company, at a karaoke bar in Pyeongtaek-si, Gyeonggi-do in January. He was charged with molestation. During the police investigation, Mr. B claimed that despite his clear intention to refuse, Mr. A tried to touch him by hugging him from behind. However, Mr. A denied the charges, saying he had never done anything to cause sexual disgust, and his colleagues at the company dinner also stated that they had never witnessed Mr. A's molestation. At the trial, Mr. A's legal representative said, "The victim's complaint is against objective facts, and there is nothing to acknowledge the defendant's intention to molest." Affidavits of attendees at the dinner party at the time, fact confirmation documents, etc. were submitted as evidence. The court also ruled, "According to the victim's statement, the defendant's molestation led to a serious situation such as the victim screaming, but it is very unusual for no one to have witnessed it," adding, "It is difficult to conclude that the defendant forcibly molested the victim by looking at the objective circumstances." Attorney Kang Eun-hye of Daeryun Law Firm, the legal representative in the case, said, "The charge of forcible molestation is against the will of the other party." “In particular, in cases where sexual assault is committed through assault or intimidation, it is difficult to collect evidence, so there are many cases where we have no choice but to rely on the victim’s statement,” he said. “The standards for establishing harassment have been relaxed and the scope of punishment has also expanded, so if you are unfairly accused of being a molester, you need systematic help from an expert from the beginning of the case.” [View full article] KBC Gwangju Broadcasting - Man in his 50s accused of 'molesting a fellow employee', court finds 'not guilty' (Shortcut) Segye Ilbo - The woman's consistent claims did not work...

“Children are unable to sleep due to loudspeaker noise that continues day and night.” Recently, as ‘nuisance protests’ have increased in front of the homes of high-ranking public officials and businessmen, including banners with provocative content, swearing, wearing mourning clothes and singing dirges, nearby residents are suffering. In the middle of this year, some union members in Cheonan, South Chungcheong Province held a demonstration in front of the home of the head of a company in Samseong-dong, Seoul, protesting against an increase in construction costs, Hyundai Transys. The union held a protest in front of the home of Hyundai Motor Group Chairman Chung Eui-sun. There were even demonstrations targeting empty houses in front of Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Jae-yong's home. In various online communities, there are many posts posted by residents who have suffered damage from protests in front of their homes, complaining that "there is no help other than reporting the noise," "it's so annoying that it makes everyday life difficult," and "I'm afraid my children will hear swear words." In this way, residents criticize protests in residential areas for disrupting their peaceful lives and could be considered an "illegal act," while the protesters say that the protests are legitimate. They are fighting back, saying it is an exercise of ‘freedom of expression.’ Netizens are also giving mixed reactions to this. Some argued, “Assemblies in residential areas should be banned at the source,” “What on earth are you doing in front of your home?”, “Not in a residential area, but maybe in front of a factory?”, “Along with the freedom of assembly, all ordinary citizens have the right to live as human beings quietly and without being disturbed.” Also, “Freedom of expression must be protected,” “The assembly law is the sovereignty of the democratic movement,” and “I tried for 100 days in front of the headquarters, but no one would meet me. There was also a response supporting the rights of the protesters, saying, “It is a protest culture created by the corporate culture.” Professor Kwak added, "Company protests are spread across multiple responsibilities, but protests in front of people's homes are entirely the responsibility of the individual, so greater psychological pressure can be felt." Article 21, Paragraph 1 of the Constitution guarantees freedom of assembly and demonstration to all citizens, and under the Assembly and Demonstration Act (Assemblies and Demonstrations Act), protests are operated through a reporting system, not a permit system. However, Article 37, Paragraph 2 of the Constitution stipulates that this right may be restricted only when necessary to maintain public order and safety, allowing for some restrictions in cases where it may pose a threat to national safety or public order. In other words, it is difficult to ban the demonstration in front of one's home, but it is possible to limit the noise level and time zone. The Enforcement Decree of the Assembly and Demonstration Act, revised last August, further strengthened the noise standards in residential areas, etc., and established weekly equivalent noise standards. The maximum noise level was lowered to 60 dB, 50 dB at night, and 45 dB at night (midnight to 7 a.m.). The maximum noise level was lowered to 80 dB during the day, 70 dB at night, and 65 dB at night. According to standards such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), 80 dB is the noise level of a passing subway, 65 dB is the level of conversation in a crowded cafe, 60dB is the noise level at which people are talking in an office. The Ministry of Environment in Korea sets a noise level of 65dB or less as the daytime noise standard for residential areas, and believes that exceeding this level may result in increased inconvenience to residents. Is there no way for residents to prevent protests in their residential areas? Law firm Daeryun Choi Hyeon-deok said, “There is virtually no way to completely block protests in residential areas. If residents want to receive compensation for damage caused by noise, they must file a civil lawsuit, and this is only possible when the standard decibel level set by the House and Demonstration Act is exceeded.” He added, “If 65 dB persists, it can be quite uncomfortable, so in the future, the decibel standard should be lowered further or in residential areas.” “I think we need a plan to ban the use of loudspeakers,” he emphasized.

A woman in her 60s who was indicted on charges of signing a lease contract while hiding the fact that a hospital with the same medical specialty could not be located in the same commercial complex was found not guilty in the appeals court. On the 8th, the 2-1st Criminal Division of the Seoul Western District Court (Chief Judge Ju-Hyun Lee) overturned the first trial ruling that sentenced A, in her 60s, to a suspended prison sentence on charges of fraud, and declared her not guilty. In 2018, he signed a contract with dentist B to rent a room in the building and received 50 million won as a deposit. However, the ‘same industry restriction agreement’ held back Mr. B. At that time, another dental hospital was already located in the building, and a doctor at the hospital filed a lawsuit for a temporary injunction against Mr. B, requesting that he stop opening the practice. Mr. B then sued Mr. A for fraud. Even though they knew that hospitals in the same medical department could not be located in the same building, they signed a lease agreement while hiding this fact. Mr. B also claimed that although he expressed concern to Mr. A at the time of signing the contract, saying, “There is a dental clinic on a different floor, is it okay for me to go in again?” Mr. A responded, “It is possible.” Mr. A completely denied the allegations. About 20 years ago, the room in question was jointly sold with another partner promising to establish a hospital, but the partner at the time managed the sales contract and failed to properly confirm the related agreements. The first trial court found Mr. A guilty on the charge and sentenced him to 6 months in prison and 2 years of probation. The court explained, "It is difficult to accept that Mr. A was the only one who did not know such an important matter, referring to the fact that in the past, the two people were assigned designated medical departments to avoid overlapping industries." However, the appellate court's judgment was different. It was difficult to say that the fact that Mr. A intentionally deceived the victim was proven beyond a reasonable doubt. The court explained, "It is acknowledged that the partner who had a major conflict with the defendant while operating the hospital did not return the sales contract after the termination of the partnership." It also said, "It is possible that the defendant did not see the sales contract for the room in this case and was not aware of the contents related to business restrictions." He also said, "There has been a conflict over the industry restriction agreement, and as the court has ruled that industry restrictions are not recognized each time, it is highly likely that the defendant did not know these details." Oh Kyung-rok, a lawyer at Daeryun Law Firm (Limited), who represented Mr. A, said, "The core issue of establishing fraud depends on 'proving intent.' He said, "The text about the restrictions was written in very small letters, so I was not aware of the related content at all." He added, "The court also took into account the fact that there was no objective evidence that the defendant knew about the industry restrictions, and overturned the original decision and found him not guilty."

According to statistics recently released by the National Police Agency, the total number of voice phishing damages that occurred from January to May of this year was 8,434, and the damage amounted to a whopping 256.3 billion won. Voice phishing is now considered a serious social problem as the number of victims has increased significantly every year since the first report was received in 2006. The government also defines voice phishing as a crime against the people's livelihood and has come up with various measures and is carrying out large-scale prevention and promotion activities, but the damage does not appear to be decreasing at all. This is because criminal methods are becoming more sophisticated day by day, to the point where various countermeasures are useless. The strategies of voice phishing gang members have become more sophisticated. The slurred speech that was ridiculed in the media a few years ago has long since disappeared. In addition to false phone numbers, fake websites, and manipulated official documents, even malicious programs appeared. By hacking the victim's cell phone, he was able to control the entire situation at will. It has also become essential to share various roles, such as prosecutors, Financial Supervisory Service employees, and credit card company counselors. The problem is that as their methods become more sophisticated, the number of cases where voice phishing victims are seen as perpetrators is increasing. The author has also witnessed many such cases in the field. In fact, in the case of a woman, Ms. A, early this year, she was singled out as a voice phishing agent and was investigated by the police. After looking into the details, it turned out that she was also a victim. One day, Ms. A received a call from people impersonating prosecutors saying that she was involved in a financial crime. They pushed Mr. A from the beginning, mentioning the ‘possibility of arrest’. At that time, Mr. A called the Financial Supervisory Service and the Prosecutor's Office to directly confirm the fact, but in this case, the people who hacked Mr. A's cell phone pretended to be employees and gave false answers. They also had Mr. A capture and report all contact information and write down the disadvantages he would face if he ignored instructions every day. Mr. A, who was gaslighted, eventually transferred tens of millions of won to these organizations. The crimes of the voice phishing organization did not end here. Mr. A was also used as a cash collection device. Because of this, although Mr. A was a victim, he also had to undergo police investigation as a suspect. Mr. A, who was booked on fraud charges, was fortunately acquitted, but was unable to properly recover the damages he had incurred for the tens of millions of won he had lost. There are also many cases where people are lured in with the lure of employment. The method is to recruit people by posting job postings as if it were a normal company and then hand over the responsibility of collection. In the beginning, the general trend is to assign promised tasks and then, as trust builds, to give various reasons and have them deliver cash. The main targets are people in their 30s and 40s who are in desperate need of employment for economic reasons. However, unlike the case of Mr. A, who also suffered great economic damage, the possibility of punishment in this case can be said to be quite high. You must prove that you were completely unaware that you were involved in a crime, and this process is not easy. Therefore, if you are involved in a voice phishing crime in any case, you must take quick action. In the case of collection measures, since proving 'intention' has a great influence on the judgment of guilt or innocence, you must logically organize and argue the circumstances favorable to you in an investigative agency or court. Victims also need to quickly go through the reporting process with the help of a professional lawyer and then collect evidence that can help apprehend the perpetrator.

“rate of return 9%? Private loans only” recent MZThere are investment products that people are passionate about.. Investing in art ‘art tech’all. People who are ignorant about art ‘Principal guaranteed’class ‘high interest rates’As the focus is on, Ponzi schemes against them are becoming rampant.. <Sunday current affairs>is a law firm that provides relief to victims of such art tech fraud.(finite) I met Daeryun’s chief attorney, Myeongseok Kim.. As interest in art increased and the size of the art market grew and diversified, investment in art came into the spotlight as a new means of investment, combining art and finance. ‘art tech(Art-Tech)’Even a new word was born:. In addition, as expensive works of art could be purchased with a piece investment, the entry barrier to art tech was lowered, which also led to an influx of investment.. Taking advantage of this trend, many companies have emerged to attract investors by guaranteeing the resale of art works.. However, contrary to the original promotional content, more and more victims are unable to recover their investment.. The most well-known companies are ‘galleryK’all. Currently, victims are communicating through open chat rooms., 400Several people are complaining of damage.. If non-return of investment principal continues, the damage amount will be 1000It amounts to hundreds of millions of won.. In this situation, a law firm(finite) Daeryun(Hereinafter, Daeryun)silver galleryK Team to provide relief to Arttech fraud victims(The relief team below)formed a group and filed a class action lawsuit on their behalf.. <Sunday current affairs>the galleryK We met with Chief Attorney Kim Myeong-seok of the Art Tech Fraud Defense Team and are currently conducting an investigation., I asked about the amount of damage, etc..

These people all have a lot of experience with fraud cases.. -How did you come to rescue the victims?? ▲Initially, I consulted with one or two victims.. Bank interest must be high 4% It's about that much, month 79%is the rate of return at the level of interest rate bonds.. To an art dealer 5%In order to give it, there must also be company maintenance costs., At least art rental fee 20% It seems that it can be maintained if it gets close.. ‘galleryK’ Ponzi fraud group prosecution fraud expert 4They set up a famous rescue team, but unless it's the Mona Lisa, the price of art works is high. 20%When I heard that it was being leased for a monthly lease fee, I thought it was a contract that was realistically unmaintainable.. This type of fraud is difficult to prove if one victim files a complaint., Fraud can only be proven if it is acknowledged that multiple victims were harmed in the same way., We came to the conclusion that there was a need to file a group complaint, so we formed a team and filed a group complaint.. -How many victims have requested complaints regarding the incident?, How much is the damage?? ▲The rescue team 9at the beginning of the month 1I filed a lawsuit against the car, 9at the end of the month 2A car complaint was filed..

In the end, art dealers were mobilized to recruit investors and the investment funds were used to cover the profits from previous investors. ‘Turn and block’ It has no choice but to operate this way., this ‘Turn and block’It is presumed that he reached his limit and eventually threw up his hands.. -Recently, the police department is also working hard to investigate the Art Tech fraud case.. The team's opinion on the current investigation situation is? ▲Initially, our relief team submitted a complaint to the Metropolitan Investigation Unit of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.. However, it was transferred to Dongdaemun Police Station, where the company is located., As complaints continue to be filed and the scale grows, the investigation has been transferred to the metropolitan investigation team again..
