Assistance From a Changwon Law Office | A Changwon Law Office Obtains an Acquittal for a Client Charged With Destruction of Property

This is the account of the client who had a consultation at a Changwon law office.

On the day of the incident, a problem arose after the client parked the vehicle.

The client had not scratched the vehicle, but the other party claimed that the vehicle had been scratched and reported the matter to the police.

Afterward, the police repeatedly requested the client to appear, but the client ignored these requests.

In the end, the client was arrested in an emergency arrest and was being held in a detention cell, and the client's wife came to a Changwon law office on her husband's behalf to request help.

Through a legal consultation with the client, the attorney examined the circumstances of the case in detail and established a systematic strategy.

If a person arbitrarily destroys another's property or possessions, or conceals them so that their original value cannot be used, the crime of destruction of property is recognized, and a sentence of imprisonment for not more than three years or a fine of not more than seven million won is imposed.

Article 366 of the Criminal Act (Destruction of Property, etc.)

A person who damages, conceals, or by any other means impairs the utility of another's property, document, or special media record such as an electronic record shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than three years or a fine of not more than seven million won.

For willful negligence to be recognized, there must be, beyond an awareness of the possibility that the criminal facts will occur, an inner intention to accept the risk that the criminal facts will occur.

In the client's case, however, the attorney argued that the client had stepped out in the middle of work and, hearing someone calling, had merely looked into the company premises while passing through the parking lot.

The client could not admit to having intentionally damaged the vehicle, since the client was not even aware of the reporting party's vehicle.

The attorney therefore emphasized that the client had not damaged the reporting party's vehicle at all.

The attorney emphasized that, although the reporting party claimed that the client knew the reporting party's vehicle, the reporting party could not clearly state on what basis the reporting party believed that the client knew the vehicle.

In light of this point, the attorney argued that the client was not guilty, as there was no offense attributable to the client.

In this case, the 🔗destruction of property client, who faced punishment, resolved the unfairness with the help of the Changwon law office and was acquitted.

If the crime of destruction of property is recognized, a person may be punished under Article 366 of the Criminal Act by imprisonment for not more than three years or a fine of not more than seven million won, so consulting an attorney experienced in this area can be helpful.
