I intend to file a criminal complaint for the crime of business interference.

Legal IntellectualViews8,353

Recently, while I have been running my store, one person repeatedly visits and causes a loud disturbance. He also says unpleasant things to customers, which is disrupting my business. Even though I have politely asked him several times, nothing changes, and there have even been times when he blocked the way in front of the store or prevented customers from entering. My sales have declined and my stress is severe, so may I file a criminal complaint for the crime of business interference? If I file a complaint, what punishment will he receive?

Answer to Related Inquiry

You are likely feeling very anxious and troubled because repeated and intentional acts have disrupted your business.


In order to report the crime of business interference, it is important first to determine whether the perpetrator's act constitutes a crime.


The crime of business interference is established when a person interferes with another's business by spreading false facts or by deception or force, and intent is essential in such a case.


Therefore, if it is determined that this crime is established, you should promptly report it to the police and have the case filed.


At this time, it is important to secure, as much as possible, evidence and the details of the harm, including the specific form of the other party's interfering acts.


If the crime is recognized, the perpetrator may be subject to imprisonment for not more than 5 years or a fine of not more than 15 million won.


If the business interference continues even after the complaint, or if the perpetrator shows a threatening attitude, you may also consider applying for personal protection.


However, in cases of interference with business, the instances in which the police provide personal protection measures are very limited.


Therefore, using private security services when necessary can also be a good method.


I recommend that you minimize the harm through measures that secure your personal safety together with the complaint.
