Changwon Law Firm Assistance | Extortion and Other Charges, Reduced to a Suspended Sentence on Appeal

The detailed account of the client for a consultation is as follows.

The client agreed to a friend’s invitation to take part in an offense, a friend he had come to know through a group chat for international students.

The two conspired to commit offenses including extortion, fraud, and concealment of criminal proceeds.

The client and the friend placed false advertisements for high-paying part-time work on social media and extorted about 3 million won from a victim through a webcam phishing scheme.

The client took part in concealing the criminal proceeds of the extortion and fraud, and in the process he was also implicated in charges of violating the Electronic Financial Transactions Act and the Foreign Exchange Transactions Act.

Because fraud offenses are committed against an unspecified number of victims in an organized and planned manner and cause great harm, the courts punish them severely.

Implicated in multiple offenses, the client came to the Changwon law firm and requested assistance in order to reduce his sentence as much as possible.

In the first instance, the client denied the offense out of fear that he would receive a heavy punishment, but by the second instance he admitted to all of his wrongdoing.

The client emphasized that he holds a penitent heart toward the victims who suffered great harm from his offense and lives each day in remorse.

The client had lived as an ordinary member of society with no prior convictions, whether for the same type of offense or a different one.

The firm emphasized that the client has firm social ties and is making his own efforts to prevent reoffending, so the risk of recidivism is low.

Setting aside the circumstances of the case, the fact that the client committed an offense that could cause social controversy was clearly wrong.

However, the firm emphasized that the amount of gain the client directly obtained from the offense was relatively small.

The case above was one in which the client, with the assistance of the Changwon law firm, succeeded in having the sentence reduced to a suspended sentence on appeal.
