The criminal attorney closely reviewed the client's case and analyzed in detail the sentence applicable to the charge.
What Is the Sentencing for Interference With Business?
The crime of interference with business refers to a crime established by spreading false facts or interfering with another's business by deceit or force.
Here, deceit means that, in order to achieve the purpose of the act, the actor causes the other party to form a mistaken belief or misunderstanding and takes advantage of it.
Force means any power capable of suppressing or confusing a person's free will.
If this charge is established, the offender may be punished under the following provisions.
Relevant Statutes
① A person who interferes with another's business by force shall be punished by imprisonment for up to 5 years or a fine of up to 15 million won.
Relevant Precedent (Supreme Court Decision 2011Do7943)
For the crime of interference with business to be recognized, there must be awareness and intent that one's own conduct interferes with another's business. Here, the intent need not necessarily be deliberate, and it is sufficient if there is merely awareness of the possibility or risk that one's conduct will interfere with another's business.
