Uijeongbu Law Firm Assistance | Uijeongbu Law Firm Represents a Defrauded Client in Filing a Complaint, Leading to an Actual Custodial Sentence for the Offender

The client was defrauded by a close acquaintance, the defendant.

The acquaintance urgently asked the client to lend money.

Believing the acquaintance had an urgent situation, the client lent the money.

However, the acquaintance continued to borrow money from the client on several occasions afterward and did not repay it.

When the client pressed for an explanation, the acquaintance admitted to using the money the client had lent for purposes such as repaying debts and covering living expenses.

Upon learning this, the client resolved to file a fraud complaint against the acquaintance and entrusted the Uijeongbu law firm with representation in filing the complaint.

The Uijeongbu law firm explained the 🔗crime of fraud.

The crime of fraud

is a property crime in which a person deceives another to receive property or to obtain a pecuniary benefit, and where the offense is established, it may be punishable by up to 10 years of imprisonment or a fine of 20 million won.

In order to file a fraud complaint against the other party and have the party punished, the other party's 'act of deception' must be established.

An act of deception refers to an act that betrays the duty of good faith and sincerity to be observed in property transactions.

It is important not merely to assert this, but to gather objective evidence and prove it sufficiently.

The contents of messages, bank account records that can prove the monetary transactions, and the testimony of people nearby may serve as effective evidence.

However, because such evidence must be gathered lawfully, consulting an attorney from the early stages of the case 🔗for a legal consultation can be helpful.

*Consultations are available online, by phone, or in person.

The defendant told the client several times that he was undergoing individual rehabilitation.

The Uijeongbu law firm argued that the defendant had borrowed the client's money while undergoing individual rehabilitation.

The client was not the only person defrauded.

The Uijeongbu law firm argued that the defendant had defrauded multiple victims using the same method.

The Uijeongbu law firm referred to the amount of damage the client had suffered from being defrauded by the defendant.

The firm emphasized that the defendant had periodically borrowed money from the client and that the amount reached tens of millions of won.

The client who entrusted the Uijeongbu law firm with representation in filing the complaint wished to file a complaint against the acquaintance who had committed the fraud.

The Uijeongbu attorney then proceeded with the complaint.

As a result of this assistance, the court imposed an actual custodial sentence on the defendant for the crime of fraud.
