Recently, as economic crimes such as voice phishing and fraud have increased taking advantage of the social chaos caused by COVID-19, the Financial Supervisory Service issued a consumer warning 'caution' on the 8th. According to the legal community, voice phishing organizations approach using remote control apps under the pretext of 'low-interest non-face-to-face loans are available', 'enter your account number and password to receive emergency disaster relief funds', and 'your account is used as a cannon account and a phone investigation is required'. There is a growing number of victims who encourage users to install mobile banking and then extort balance by accessing mobile banking. In particular, methods are becoming more sophisticated by the day, such as using account information for new voice phishing to turn victims into criminal participants. Voice phishing is classified as a serious crime with great social and economic damage, and the punishment standards are strict. Those who lead the crime can be sentenced to 10 years in prison, intermediate participants such as call center managers can be sentenced to 7 years in prison, and simple participants such as bank account recruiters, profit distributors, and withdrawers can be sentenced to 5 years in prison, and aggravated punishment is also possible. In the case of simple participants, there are cases where they are both perpetrators and victims at the same time. According to a criminal lawyer at Daeryun Law Firm, “Voice phishing is a clear case of fraud, and the method and severity are widely known, but when an individual receives a voice phishing text, in most cases, they do not suspect a crime.” He added, “In addition to financial damage, there are also cases where they are accused of being a participant in voice phishing by exposing their bank account or personal transaction information, etc.” “There is a case where a client who received a text message from a person who introduced himself as a loan manager saying that a non-face-to-face loan at a low interest rate was possible provided a check card and password in his name as a quick service and his bank account was suspended,” he said. “The client was investigated by the police on charges of aiding and abetting fraud, but with the help of a criminal lawyer, the client claimed innocence, and the case was concluded with a no-charge and non-indictment disposition.” The criminal lawyer explained. “As in this case, when you are accused of participating in voice phishing, investigative agencies often respond unfavorably to you due to the embarrassment of being involved in the case. In many cases, the initial response leads to a judgment, so if you find yourself in a related situation, it is necessary to find a professional lawyer who can provide legal assistance related to voice phishing.” Advised.

Daeryun Law Firm (Representative Attorney Shim Jae-guk) announced on the 17th that it held the ‘2020 Workshop’ at the lecture hall of the Busan Design Promotion Institute with about 70 member lawyers and employees in attendance. This workshop was held under the theme of ‘Strengthening capabilities for Daeryun development’ and was conducted in the following order: △proposal of management strategy △reading precedents △cultivation of customer service mind. ◆‘Management strategy’ to create innovative results. A time was held to propose management strategy areas using the keyword 'innovation', share annual/mid- to long-term work plans, and encourage employees to improve their expertise to achieve common goals. At the same time, immediate action tasks were derived through discussions on corporate management efficiency, such as an open employee multi-faceted evaluation system and a briefing on each team's work and expected capabilities, as well as the creation of an idea window for organizational development and a plan to adjust overlapping tasks. ◆ Following the cultivation of oral argument skills through the ‘Precedent Reading Program’, the self-established ‘Precedent Reading Program’ was also formalized. This is an opportunity for new lawyers to analyze precedents in front of senior legal professionals and engage in impromptu Q&A sessions to improve the thinking skills, presentation skills, logic loopholes, and improvisation skills required as lawyers. Hyun-ji Lee, a member lawyer who planned the precedent reading program, said, “It is most important for a lawyer to understand the issues well and emphasize them clearly. If you go to trial with oral argument skills that can clearly and logically organize legal arguments, you can expect positive results.” ◆ Cultivating a Customer Service Mind Law firms providing legal services have confirmed the improvement in awareness that ‘cultivating a customer service mind’ is a basic skill, and are helping clients and corporations meet. Contact points were analyzed step by step. The workshop ended with a customer service consulting session to suggest desirable response solutions and apply business manners and job-specific service communication skills. Representative attorney Shim Jae-guk said, "Our firm has established itself as a mid-sized law firm in name and reality by opening its Seoul office in December of last year. We hope that all members will work hard as we enter a new era of leap forward." He added, "The growth of the newly launched business management team and customer relationship management team is more important than anything else."

According to the legal community, a suspect who was recently accused of rape and forcible molestation was not indicted. According to criminal lawyer Daeryun (Seocho), who was the suspect's lawyer, "The suspect who was accused of rape and forcible molestation in his vehicle and at the complainant's home at the time was in a romantic relationship with the complainant." In particular, he argued, “It was important to impeach the credibility of the plaintiff’s statement through the attorney’s opinion, which revealed contradictions such as the content of phone calls and text messages before and after the incident.” He explained, “In the end, the prosecution accepted this argument and decided not to indict the client without charges (insufficient evidence).” Under criminal law, forcible harassment, commonly known as sexual harassment, involves physical contact without the other person’s consent by using tangible force such as assault or threats. It's a crime. The punishment for forcible molestation is imprisonment for not more than 10 years or a fine not exceeding 15 million won, and the punishment for rape, which is committing adultery with another person through assault or intimidation, is punishment for a limited term of imprisonment of not less than 3 years. Depending on the punishment, such sex crimes may be subject to severe security measures such as registration of personal information, disclosure and notification of personal information, employment restrictions, and attachment of electronic location tracking devices (electronic anklets). In addition, if information about the case becomes known to those around you during the investigation, work life or personal relationships may become difficult, regardless of whether there are actual charges. Regarding this, criminal lawyer Daeryun (Seocho) Law Firm said, “The severity of punishment for sex crimes is increasing as social and national public awareness of sex crimes has increased due to the recent N-room incident. If you are involved in a sex crime charge, if you feel the slightest sense of injustice, you should request legal assistance without delay.” “As the victim's statement acts as key evidence in the case, it is important for the suspect or defendant to collect data that can question the credibility of the victim's statement and to have a lawyer's opinion written.” He continued, “If you appoint a lawyer during the process of being investigated by an investigative agency, you can prevent unfavorable testimony and you can avoid unfair charges and get a non-indictment, so you should appoint a criminal lawyer early in the case and make efforts to be acquitted or acquitted.” Law firm advised. Daeryun is a national network law firm with offices in Seoul, Busan, Daegu, Incheon, Gwangju, Daejeon, Ulsan, Suwon, Changwon, Cheongju, Jeonju, Uijeongbu, Chuncheon, Jinju, and Jeju.

A former broadcaster who was sent to trial on charges of illegally filming women with a cell phone on the subway was sentenced to one year in prison at a trial on the 21st. The previous sentence before the presumption of trial was 6 months in prison, but the prosecution said, "Considering the recent situation that requires strengthened punishment for sexual crimes, we requested a one-year prison sentence, disclosure of personal information, three years of restriction on employment at institutions related to children, youth, and the disabled, and completion of a sexual assault treatment program." Crime is increasing every year. According to the ‘2020 Sexual Crime White Paper’ published by the Ministry of Justice, illegal filming crimes using smartphones increased 5.8 times from 412 in 2013 to 2,388 in 2018. In particular, the rate of repeat offenses that follow the same sex crime methods of the past reached 75%. From ultra-small cameras attached to buttons or glasses to cameras attached to lighters, illegal filming methods are also becoming more sophisticated. Accordingly, each local government is cracking down on illegally installed ultra-small cameras in multi-use facilities such as public restrooms. Seocho criminal lawyer Shim Jae-guk of the Daeryun Law Firm said, “The attitude of investigative authorities has become very strict due to the succession of crimes and the resulting damage. With the recent revision of the Special Act on Sexual Violence, the level of punishment for filming using cameras (hidden camera crime) has increased from 5 years in prison or a fine of up to 30 million won. “It has been increased to 7 years or a fine of up to 50 million won,” he said. “You must know that filming a sexual video without asking another person’s consent is a serious crime in itself, and that you are subject to punishment just for possessing, purchasing, storing, or watching such video.” He added, “If you are found guilty of a hidden camera crime, you will also be sentenced to various sexual crime security measures such as registration of personal information, public notice, and employment restrictions, which can put you at a great disadvantage in terms of your status. “If you are suspected of illegal filming, you will need the assistance of a criminal lawyer with experience in sexual crime cases from the beginning of the investigation.” Attorney Shim advised, “In particular, when a hidden camera crime is an issue, whether ‘a person’s body that may cause sexual desire or shame’ was filmed may become an issue by comprehensively considering the victim’s clothing and degree of body exposure, the photographer’s intention, the circumstances leading up to the filming, the location, angle and distance of the filming, and sentencing data. “We must respond relatively,” he explained. “Above all, we must convey truthful reflection, agreement with the victim, and the absence of risk of reoffending at the beginning of the investigation, while being careful not to cause secondary damage to the victim during the process.” Daeryun Law Firm, which provided assistance, currently has a nationwide network including Seoul, Busan, Daegu, Incheon, Gwangju, Daejeon, Ulsan, Suwon, Changwon, Cheongju, Jeonju, Uijeongbu, Chuncheon, Jinju, and Jeju.

Recently, a court ruled that the wife, who found out about her husband's affair, must pay a total of 60 million won in alimony to the defendants in damages paid to the mother and daughter of incest. Divorce lawyer Shim Jae-guk of Daeryun Law Firm, who represented the client in the lawsuit requesting incest, said, "At the time, the client was complaining of serious psychological trauma after learning that not only the husband's affair, but also the affair partners were mother and daughter." He said, “We obtained text messages and recorded files containing the content of the adulterers admitting their misconduct, and logically proved the causal relationship for the psychological shock suffered by the client to receive compensation for damages.” As in this case, generally, if a spouse cheats, a lawsuit for alimony can be filed against the adulterer. Since the method of criminal punishment for adultery has disappeared with the abolition of the law of adultery, the incestuous incest data claim lawsuit is a way to claim damages equivalent to alimony through a civil lawsuit against the incestuous woman and the incestuous man. According to the legal community, depending on how the incestuous incest data claim lawsuit is conducted, different results may be obtained regarding the amount of alimony or whether or not the case will be successful, so it is important to receive assistance from an expert from the early stage. Attorney Shim explains. “Collection of evidence is essential in lawsuits requesting commercial incest data. If an individual collects evidence without the advice of a lawyer, he or she may unintentionally commit illegal acts such as home invasion, violation of the Communications Secrets Protection Act, and violation of the Credit Information Act,” he said. “Also, depending on how the proceeding is conducted, different results may be obtained regarding the amount of alimony or whether or not the case will be won, so it is better to receive expert assistance from the early stages.” He continued, “In the case of incestuous litigation, one party may become embroiled in the case due to a misunderstanding by one party. In many cases, if you continue to fail to respond when you have been falsely accused, you need to be careful because there is a high possibility that the other party will accept the claim as an intention to pay the entire amount of alimony,” he said. “If what the plaintiff claims is different from the facts, you should be able to refute the misunderstanding with evidence and defense, and if you continued to date after knowing that the other party was married, it is advisable to respond by focusing on reducing the amount of alimony.” The law firm that provided assistance provided assistance.

Hosted by Rep. Kim Woong of the United Future Party (Songpa-gu Gap, Seoul), the ‘Policy Debate for Establishing a Law to Eradicate Gender Violence and Murder’ was held at 10 am on Friday, July 3, in the first seminar room of the National Assembly Building. In his opening speech, Rep. Kim Woong started by talking about his time as a prosecutor and said, “Although crime in our country has decreased overall, dating violence, stalking, and violence against sexual minorities have increased and worsened into social problems,” and explained the purpose of organizing the policy debate. explained. The discussion began with a keynote presentation by Lee Mi-jeong, a senior researcher at the Korea Women's Policy Institute, and Shim Jae-guk, a representative attorney at Daeryun Law Firm. Next, a panel discussion was held with Kim Han-gyun, a senior researcher at the Korea Institute of Criminology, Jeon Yun-jeong, a legislative investigator at the National Assembly Legislative Research Service, Kim Do-yeon, director of the Korea Dating Violence Research Institute, and Jo Yoon-o, a professor at Dongguk University's School of Police and Judiciary. Therefore, due to the perception and prejudice that sexual violence and assault are premised on consent, there are some cases that end in insufficient evidence and non-indictment, so it is necessary to establish victim protection regulations and improve the legal system considering the special characteristics of dating violence.” He continued, “Under the current law, dating violence is not specified as a crime, so it is regulated by special laws such as the Criminal Act and the Special Act on Punishment of Sexual Crimes, etc. However, in the case of dating violence, it often occurs habitually due to a combination of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. “There are many cases that are difficult to accept under the current law,” he said. “It is necessary to establish regulations that specify the meaning and scope of dating violence, establish a complex relationship with the crime, and review aggravated punishment.” He also said, “In terms of dating violence and victim protection, even if an application for injunction, which is a civil procedure, takes at least two months, damage relief is delayed and effectiveness is somewhat lacking.” Victim protection regulations are needed,” he added. Meanwhile, Jae-guk Shim, CEO of Daeryun Law Firm (Seocho-gu, Seoul), who attended the policy debate as a presenter, is a criminal lawyer and divorce lawyer certified by the Korean Bar Association and provides customized legal services to clients for various criminal cases such as dating violence, sex crimes, and domestic violence crimes.

Recently, the Ulsan District Public Prosecutor's Office ordered a non-indictment (no charges) against Mr. A, who was transferred on charges of forcibly molesting the victim against her will. According to the legal community, Mr. A was accused of forcibly molesting the victim against her will by forcibly touching her body parts after having a drink with Mr. B, who worked as a bar employee, and the conflict between the claims between Mr. A and the victim became a hot topic. At the time, the suspect's lawyer, Daeryun Law Firm's Sex Crimes Special Team, became a hot topic. A Busan criminal lawyer said, "This case was a case in which there was no evidence such as CCTV other than the victim's statement. During the police investigation, while the suspect's statement was consistent, the victim's statement was noted to be inconsistent." He added, "The witness' statement is consistent with the suspect's statement, the fact that the victim and the suspect maintained a close relationship by exchanging text messages after the incident, and the other party's words and actions that did not appear to be the victim's actions, pointed out contradictions in the statement and resulted in a non-indictment. He said, “Due to the nature of sexual crimes, like in this case, there are many cases where charges have to be contested based solely on the statements of the person involved without objective evidence. If you do not properly know the requirements for establishing a forcible molestation crime, you may be put in a disadvantageous position.” He added, “Even if there was no physical contact, in some cases, charges such as forcible molestation under the Sexual Assault Act, and molestation of a minor under the Sexual Offenses Act may be applied, and if a person is found guilty, they are stigmatized as a criminal. He added, “If you are wrongfully implicated in a case, you will also be sentenced to security measures for sexual crimes, such as registration of personal information and employment restrictions.” Regarding settlement, “When suspected of forcible harassment, there are many cases where people rush to reach an agreement with the victim out of fear of punishment or concern that the incident will become known, so offering a settlement to the victim in a situation where the charges are not clear can mean admitting the charges, so caution is necessary. “If the allegations are different from the facts, you must respond carefully to avoid unnecessary disadvantages,” he emphasized. Meanwhile, Busan criminal lawyers from Daeryun Law Firm’s sex crimes team provide legal services on criminal cases such as sex crimes, violent crimes, traffic crimes, and economic crimes at law offices in Seoul, Busan, Daegu, Incheon, Gwangju, Daejeon, Ulsan, Suwon, Changwon, Cheongju, Jeonju, Uijeongbu, Chuncheon, Jinju, and Jeju.
