The Gwangju law office heard this account directly through a consultation with the client.

The client had been the subject of a criminal complaint on the charge of committing special (aggravated) intimidation against his daughter and son-in-law.

When the client's daughter said something to the effect of wanting to divorce, the client became angry with his daughter and son-in-law, picked up a kitchen knife, and frightened and threatened the two of them.

As a result, he became the subject of a criminal complaint on the charge of threatening the victims while carrying a dangerous object, and, in order to avoid a custodial sentence in the special (aggravated) intimidation case, he sought assistance from the Gwangju law office.

Statutes Related to Special (Aggravated) Intimidation Explained by the Gwangju Law Office

■ Statutes related to special (aggravated) intimidation explained by the Gwangju law office

The Gwangju attorney explained 🔗the crime of intimidation.

Because the victims were threatened while a dangerous object was being carried, the attorney explained that the crime of special (aggravated) intimidation, rather than simple intimidation, could be established.

Criminal Act, Article 283

A person who intimidates another commits the crime of simple intimidation and is punished by imprisonment for not more than three years, a fine not exceeding 5 million won, detention, or a minor fine.

Criminal Act, Article 284

A person who commits the crime of intimidation by displaying the collective power of a group or multitude, or by carrying a dangerous object, commits the crime of special (aggravated) intimidation and is punished by imprisonment for not more than seven years or a fine not exceeding 10 million won.

Criminal Act, Article 285

In consideration of the distinctive nature of the crime of intimidation, the Criminal Act aggravates the punishment for a habitual offender by up to one half of the punishment prescribed for that crime.
