Will I be punished for crime of arson of inhabited building?

Hello. I am a criminal specialist attorney at Daeryun Law Firm.

The crime of arson of inhabited building is a crime established when arson is committed against a building used as a residence by a person, or where a person is present.

This is a crime that is established when fire is set to any building such as trains, trams, automobiles, and ships. A high level of punishment is imposed because it threatens human life.

If you threw a cigarette butt and a fire occurred, whether you had arson intent will determine the level of punishment.

If there was intent, the crime of arson is established; if it was a mistake, the crime of negligent fire is established.

The crime of arson of inhabited building is subject to life imprisonment or imprisonment of 3 years or more under the Criminal Act, and the crime of negligent fire is subject to a fine of up to 15 million won.

Looking only at the question content, since there were no human casualties and the damage was not significant, if you can prove that there was no arson intent, there is a possibility of avoiding imprisonment.

Criminal specialist attorneys collaborate with the evidence investigation center to prepare strategies to prevent your imprisonment.

If you wish to escape from the crisis of punishment, please request a consultation right away.
