[Daegu Fraud Attorney Defense Case] A Daegu Fraud Attorney Successfully Defended a Client Charged With Aiding and Abetting Fraud, Resulting in a Suspended Sentence

The client who came to the Daegu fraud attorney saw an advertisement stating 'We are recruiting housing surveyors' and applied to a company.

Because the client took photographs of buildings during the first 5 days, the client genuinely believed he was doing work surveying houses for real estate auctions.

However, as time passed, the client came to realize that this company was a voice phishing organization.

The client continued the work even though he knew that the work he was doing was conduct that facilitated voice phishing offenses.

As a result, the client caused many victims, and was in a situation in which it was difficult to avoid heavy punishment.

Seeking at least to avoid an actual custodial sentence, the client came to the Daegu fraud attorney in order to obtain the assistance of an experienced attorney.

▶ The Daegu fraud attorney emphasized that, while the client was experiencing economic hardship, the client, thinking he could earn at least some pocket money, took up the proposal of the voice phishing group and committed the offense without thinking it through deeply, and that the client feels ashamed and deeply regretful about this.

▶ The Daegu fraud attorney emphasized that the client cooperated actively in the investigation, voluntarily appearing during the investigation process and voluntarily submitting the contents of KakaoTalk conversations with the organization members, thereby facilitating the progress of the investigation.

▶ The Daegu fraud attorney emphasized that, until the voice phishing offense, the client was a member of society who had lived diligently as a law-abiding citizen with no prior record of the same type of crime and not even a record of any minor crime.

The case above was an instance in which a client charged with aiding and abetting fraud, having caused many victims, avoided an actual custodial sentence and received a suspended sentence.
