After continuously mentioning the past, assaulted several times... Victim displacement After more than 8 weeks of serious injury, the victim sued the company... Tens of millions of won in settlement money paid, criminal record left despite receiving no punishment [Sports Seoul | Reporter Kim Su-ji] Mr. A, who indiscriminately assaulted the victim at a business reception on the grounds that he did not recognize him, paid tens of millions of won in settlement money to the victim, Mr. B, and received no punishment from Mr. B, but was sentenced to a crime of bodily harm. Mr. A and Mr. B did not have a special personal relationship in the past and did not have any acquaintance with each other. However, Mr. A, who met at a business meeting, mentioned, ‘I had met Mr. B before, and at that time, he ignored me.’ He kept repeating the same thing while moving, and as the argument escalated, Mr. A punched Mr. B in the face and the assault began. Mr. A beat Mr. B several times, including stepping on his foot and hitting his entire body as he fell to the floor, and did not provide any relief to the victim who fainted as a result. In the end, Mr. B was taken to the hospital, and after hearing that he had suffered injuries for more than 8 weeks, Mr. B's company recognized the damage suffered by Mr. B and filed a personal injury complaint against Mr. A. Mr. A paid tens of millions of won in settlement money and reached an agreement with Mr. B not to punish him, but in the end, a fine was imposed in the form of a fine. Daeryun Law Firm (Limited), which represented Mr. B's lawsuit, said, "Mr. A He used violence out of spite, and as a person who trained in martial arts such as fighting, the degree of injury was very serious, and at the time, Mr. B felt his life was in danger.” He explained, “It is a premeditated and indiscriminate violence, and could be recognized as subject to punishment for injury separately from the agreement.” Even if the charge is acknowledged, there are cases where the criminal action that leaves a criminal record, such as a suspended indictment, is not received depending on the case. In this case, too, after Mr. B reached an agreement with Mr. A, He expressed his intention not to seek punishment, and as it was his first offense, a quick conclusion was expected. However, it appears that Mr. A was found guilty after specifically proving his intention to commit the crime and the damage caused by it during the complaint process.  [View full article] - “Why are you pretending not to know me?” Indiscriminate assault in a business setting... Even if there is an agreement, you are subject to punishment for personal injury.

The amendment to the Tourism Promotion Act passed the plenary session of the National Assembly, providing a basis for punishing illegal gambling in hold’em pubs “Resolving the issue of fairness of punishment with other gambling industries” Lee Yong-ho “We will increase the effectiveness of cracking down on illegal hold’em pubs” Recently, as ‘hold’em pubs’ have become popular, especially in university districts and downtown areas, illegal cash transactions such as currency exchange and gift certificate exchange in hold’em pubs are rapidly spreading. Meanwhile, attention is focused on the establishment of a legal basis for punishing casino-related activities, such as illegal gambling in hold'em pubs, which have been in the blind spot of legislation. At a plenary session on the afternoon of February 1, the National Assembly passed a bill to partially amend the ‘Tourism Promotion Act’, which defines ‘casino business-like activities’ and establishes the basis for sanctions for casino business-like activities, with 209 present, 207 in favor, and 2 abstentions. There are predictions that this revision will have the effect of eradicating illegal gambling in hold’em pubs. ‘Hold’em Pub’ is a compound word of Hold’em (a type of card game played with a dealer) and Pub, and refers to a place that charges an admission fee, provides a gaming location and chips, and sells alcohol. Recently, as ‘anomalous hold’em pubs’, which engage in illegal gambling by exchanging cash for chips, playing the game, and then cashing out again, have become prevalent, many have pointed out that crackdown and regulation are urgent. The National Investigation Headquarters of the National Police Agency conducted an intensive crackdown on illegal gambling at Hold'em pubs from August to December last year, detecting 1,004 people and arresting 8 of them. According to related industries, it is estimated that there are currently about 3,000 hold’em pubs operating nationwide. The main content of this amendment is to establish a new definition of ‘casino business-like activities’ and prohibit them. The amendment defines casino business-like activities as ‘an act that causes property profits or losses to users by providing services that fall under the category of casino business under the Tourism Promotion Act for profit by a person other than a casino operator.’ With this new definition, illegal gambling in hold’em pubs is considered a ‘casino-like activity’ and is included in the prohibited activities under the Tourism Promotion Act. The current Tourism Promotion Act does not provide a ban on activities similar to the casino business, so there is a limitation that illegal gambling in hold'em pubs can only be punished for gambling or opening a gambling place under the criminal law. According to the revision of the law, anyone who engages in similar activities in the casino business will be subject to imprisonment for up to 7 years or a fine of up to 70 million won. This is higher than the level of punishment stipulated for the crime of opening a gambling place under the Criminal Act, which is imprisonment for up to 5 years or a fine of up to 30 million won. Jo Seong-geun, a criminal specialist at Daeryun Law Firm, said, “Under the current law, similar activities such as horse racing and horse racing, which are classified as gambling industries along with the casino business, are punished with imprisonment for up to 7 years or a fine of up to 70 million won. However, in the case of hold’em pubs, there has been criticism that the level of punishment is relatively low because the crime of opening a gambling house is applied under the criminal law.” He added, “Through this legislation, the issue of fairness of punishment with other gambling industries is expected to be resolved.” In addition, with the passage of this amendment, similar activities in the casino industry will be subject to surveillance by the Gambling Industry Integrated Supervision Committee (Compliance Committee). Reporters can receive a reward of up to 50 million won. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism expressed expectations that the effectiveness of crackdowns will be increased by activating internal reporting and reporting due to the nature of illegal gambling in hold'em pubs, which has been difficult to detect. People Power Party lawmaker Lee Yong-ho, who proposed the amendment, said, “The significance of the passage of this amendment is to bring illegal hold’em pubs, which are in the blind spot of the law, within the scope of the law,” and added, “We expect that the establishment of clear regulations on casino-like activities will increase the effectiveness of cracking down on illegal hold’em pubs.” Meanwhile, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism recognized the seriousness of the spread of illegal activities in Hold'em pubs and formed a 'Special Task Force (TF) to respond to illegal activities in Hold'em pubs' in July of last year in collaboration with the House Audit Committee, Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, National Police Agency, and Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, and prepared measures to eradicate illegal activities. In addition to revising the Tourism Promotion Act, the special task force is conducting a nationwide survey of hold'em pub operations, strengthening crackdowns on illegal activities in hold'em pubs, and designating hold'em pubs as harmful businesses for youth. Kim Geun-ho, director of tourism industry policy at the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, said, “We expect that this revision of the Tourism Promotion Act will allow us to effectively crack down on illegal cash transactions that occur in hold’em pubs, etc.” Lee Jin-sik, Secretary General of the House Audit Committee, emphasized, “The passage of this amendment will be an important clue to eradicating illegal gambling in Hold’em pubs,” and added, “Related ministries will continue to cooperate to respond strongly to illegal activities in Hold’em pubs.”  [View full article] - “Illegal gambling at Hold’em pubs will be punished”… Passage of amendment to the Tourism Promotion Act [National Assembly audience]

In November last year, Mr. A (34) ordered 200 tablets of the erectile dysfunction drug Vidalista (a generic version of Cialis) for 130,000 won from an overseas direct purchase site. This is because the price is less than one-fifth of what it would be if you buy it with a doctor's prescription in Korea. But the medicine did not arrive even after two months. When I inquired with the company, the only response they gave me was “Delivery will begin soon.” Mr. A, who felt suspicious, inquired, and within 10 days, more than 100 people who had suffered the same damage gathered. Mr. A said, “I have been buying medicine directly from overseas for 8 years,” and “I chose the company because it had a high discount rate, but I got scammed.” Mr. A plans to sue the other victims and the company to the police. Recently, the number of victims of so-called ‘overseas direct purchase scams’, where people like Mr. A buy medicines through overseas direct purchase but do not receive the goods, are on the rise. This is because the number of sites selling hair loss treatments and sexual function enhancement drugs online has mushroomed in recent years. The number of sites suspected of overseas direct purchase fraud registered on the International Trade Consumer Portal increased significantly from 249 in 2020 to 325 last year. Last year, as a result of a crackdown by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, there were 18,331 posts about selling and distributing medicines online. In fact, when I searched for medicine purchase on Google on the 30th, I was able to immediately access the direct purchase site. Many of the companies were encouraging people to join the site and purchase by increasing the discount rate the more medicines were purchased, or providing points to both parties when a new subscriber wrote down a referral. The problem is that bringing medicines into the country without obtaining an import permit from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety is itself a criminal act that violates the Pharmaceutical Affairs Act. In addition, hair loss and erectile dysfunction treatments, which are mainly sold by illegal direct purchase sites, are specialty drugs in Korea and cannot be sold without a doctor's prescription. Even if you fall victim to a direct purchase of pharmaceuticals, it is not easy to get relief. This is because scam sites are mainly based overseas. Illegal sales of pharmaceuticals are punishable by imprisonment for up to 5 years and a fine of up to 50 million won, but in reality, investigation is not easy. A police official said, “If the direct purchase company’s IP is located overseas, it will inevitably take a long time because we have to seek international cooperation for the investigation.” In addition, in the case of prescription drugs containing ingredients such as steroids, ephedrine, and etomidate, purchasers may be subject to a fine of less than 1 million won (Pharmaceutical Affairs Act, Article 98). The recent increase in the number of direct purchase companies of overseas drugs is due to the rapid increase in domestic demand. They visit direct purchase sites to obtain unlicensed medicines that are not available in Korea or to purchase them in bulk at low prices even if they are sold domestically. In 2022, Incheon Headquarters Customs caught six people who smuggled in and sold 57,000 abortion pills from China that were not approved in Korea. Some drugs used to treat ischemic cerebral infarction, cognitive impairment in the elderly, and narcolepsy are also misused as ‘smart drugs’ (drugs that improve your brain). Mr. C, who has experience purchasing the drug directly from overseas, said, “This medicine cannot be prescribed unless you are a patient diagnosed with dementia, so I had no choice.” Hair loss medicine and sexual function improvement medicine are constantly purchased overseas for the purpose of reducing costs. In fact, one hair loss medicine costs 16,500 won for 10 tablets when purchased at a pharmacy, but when purchased directly from overseas, it can be purchased for 2,600 won. Mr. Lee (36), who bought the hair loss medication directly from overseas, said, “To get a prescription, there is a long wait at the hospital and the price is high, so I buy it even at the risk of side effects.” The methods used by overseas direct purchasers to avoid the eyes of customs authorities are becoming increasingly sophisticated. They do so-called ‘can change’ by changing the packaging container, or they intentionally omit customs-banned ingredients such as steroids, ephedrine, and etomidate from the product name. Some take advantage of the fact that products priced under US$150 (approximately 200,000 won) do not need to report imports and report prices lower than the actual price. Some point out that punishment for buyers should be strengthened to prevent illegal overseas direct purchase of pharmaceuticals. This is because the punishment is lighter than that of sellers, and the drug ingredients that can be punished are limited. Attorney Choi Hyeon-deok of Daeryun Law Firm said, “The Pharmaceutical Affairs Act must be fundamentally revised to strengthen the punishment of buyers.”  [View full article] - "130,000 won for 200 pills for erectile dysfunction"...

Court recognizes ‘medical treatment expert’ based on future income… "Pay 273.16 million won" ruling In the appeal trial for a prospective medical worker who was assaulted on the street, the amount of damages was nearly twice as high as in the first trial. This is because the future income standard for prospective medical staff was 'health, social welfare and religious workers' in the first trial, but was recognized as a 'medical care expert' in the second trial. According to the legal community on the 30th, the Busan District Court recently ruled In the appeal trial of a damages claim filed by Mr. A, a dental graduate school student, it was ruled that B, who caused the injury, should pay approximately 273.16 million won. This is about twice as much as the 143.59 million won in damages awarded in the first trial in February last year. Mr. A bumped shoulders with Mr. B on a roadside in Geumjeong-gu, Busan in April 2020. When Mr. A complained that he was a “mistress,” Mr. B struck Mr. A in the face several times with his fist and kicked Mr. A, who fell to the floor. As a result, Mr. A’s muscles at the corners of his mouth, which are at both ends of his lips, were completely ruptured, and he developed temporomandibular arthritis, an injury that required treatment for 21 days. In February of the following year, he was also diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and panic disorder due to the assault. Accordingly, Mr. B received a summary order with a fine of 2 million won in October 2020, and Mr. A claimed damages of about 297.06 million won against Mr. B. The first trial court found that when Mr. A opened his mouth, his lips were twisted, and neurological symptoms remained in the oral area. It was determined that there was a loss of work ability to the extent that aesthetic problems, such as locomotives, affected the choice of occupation. The court determined that the deep scar on the lips was “to the extent that it affects the ability to attract patients as a dentist.” The court calculated the profit (lost profit) that could have been earned if this incident had not occurred. Mr. A, who was 21 years old at the time of the accident, was considered highly likely to become a dentist as he received a scholarship for excellent grades at a dental school, and lost profits were calculated based on ‘health, social welfare, and religious occupations’ from the internship period in 2026 to 2063 when he turns 65. In addition, he was paid about 143.59 million won, including medical expenses, future treatment expenses, alimony, etc., and delayed interest. ruled to pay. Regarding this, both Mr. A and Mr. B appealed. Mr. A believed that future profits were underestimated and requested that the standard for ‘medical care specialist’ in the 2022 ‘Labor Status Survey Report by Employment Type’ be recognized. On the contrary, Mr. B argued that future profits were overestimated due to the fact that he was a dental student. Accordingly, the appellate court did not accept Mr. B’s argument and doubled the amount of damages compared to the first trial. “Pay approximately 273.16 million won and delay damages.” The court ruled, “The plaintiff has excellent academic performance, including receiving a scholarship for academic excellence and receiving excellent grades. Considering his age and academic performance, there is a significant possibility that he will be able to earn income as a dentist in the future.” Daeryun Law Firm, which represented Mr. A, said, Attorney Choi Bo-yoon said, “We confirmed that a new occupational group of medical specialists was created in the recent labor status survey report by employment type, and we actively argued for this based on Supreme Court precedent, so we were able to have dentists’ reasonable income recognized.”  [View full article] Daily Medi - Dental student assaulted on the street...

tests can only be conducted in special situations where alcohol intake cannot be measured even if the driver speaks gibberish or exhibits abnormal behavior.. As a result, the police often do not crack
