If charged with fraud, will I get imprisonment?

You have been charged with fraud. The act of impersonating others can constitute fraud.

Beyond simply impersonating a celebrity, if the impersonation has caused financial damage to the victim, it can be subject to criminal punishment.

Fraud is a crime punished under the Criminal Act.

It can be subject to imprisonment of up to 10 years or a fine of up to 20 million won.

If the gain obtained through such impersonation is large, the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Economic Crimes will apply, and more severe punishment will be received.

If the gain is between 500 million won and less than 5 billion won, imprisonment of 3 years or more, and if the gain is 5 billion won or more, life imprisonment or imprisonment of 5 years or more can be imposed.

Fraud is established when another person is deceived to obtain property gain through a disposal act, or property is delivered, so caution is required as punishment can occur even if the amount obtained is small.

In your case, if it is clear that you impersonated a celebrity to deceive others and received money, fraud charges appear unavoidable.

If you are facing criminal punishment after being charged with fraud, it is important to understand the sentencing standards for fraud and establish a strategy to reduce punishment to respond.

Additionally, fraud is a case that can lead not only to criminal punishment but also to civil lawsuits.

Therefore, rather than responding to the case alone, we recommend quickly seeking the help of a criminal attorney to respond to the case.
