Assistance of the Gunsan Law Office | With the Help of the Gunsan Law Office, Dismissal of the Appeal in an Aiding and Abetting Fraud Case

This is the account of a client who requested assistance from the Gunsan law office.

Acting on a proposal from an unidentified member of a telecommunications-based financial fraud organization, the client took on the role of a cash collector who gathered cash from victims and delivered it.

He then deceived a victim and received a large sum of money under the pretext of loan repayment.

From that point, he extorted money from victims on approximately fifteen occasions.

Although the client received a suspended sentence in the trial of first instance, the prosecutor filed an appeal on the ground that the judgment of the lower court was too lenient.

Having become afraid of punishment, the client came to the Gunsan law office to request a legal consultation.

▣ Aiding and Abetting Fraud / Article 347 of the Criminal Act (Fraud)

(1) A person who obtains the delivery of property or acquires a pecuniary advantage by deceiving another shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than ten years or by a fine not exceeding twenty million won.

(2) The same punishment as in the preceding paragraph shall apply where a third party is caused to receive the delivery of property or to acquire a pecuniary advantage by the method described in the preceding paragraph.

Provided, that the punishment may be mitigated.

The attorney argued that the client, with the help of his family, had made the greatest possible efforts at repayment, and that he had accordingly reached settlements with all of the victims or made criminal deposits with an official depository.

The attorney also argued that the client was not an active leader of the offense in this case but had participated passively in accordance with instructions.
