Suwon Law Office Case | A Suwon Attorney Established the Absence of Fraud and Concluded the Case With a Non-Prosecution Decision
The client, who had been unjustly implicated in a charge of fraud, was looking for a law office to handle the case together and came to a Suwon attorney for a thorough consultation.
1. The Client's Situation

The client, who had been implicated in a charge of fraud, came to a law office in the Suwon area to clear the charge promptly and return to daily life, and explained the circumstances of the case.
How the Client Came to the Suwon Law Office
The detailed account of the client who held a consultation at the Suwon law office is as follows.
The client was defrauded of approximately 500 million won after being invited into an overseas futures investment chat room.
Having been defrauded, the client ran short of money and decided to take out a loan of 40 million won from Savings Bank A.
While applying for the loan, the client checked "no" in response to the question of whether a concurrent loan was being taken out from another financial institution, and received the loan.
After taking out the loan from Bank A in the morning, the client decided to take out an additional loan of 12 million won from Savings Bank B in the afternoon and borrowed the money.
A short time later, the client learned that he had been reported by Savings Bank A on a charge of 🔗fraud.
The reason was that the client had become implicated in a charge of having deceived Bank A and intentionally taken out concurrent loans.
Having suffered losses of about 500 million won, the client was identified as a fraud suspect and placed in a deeply unjust situation, and came to a Suwon attorney to clear the charge.
2. Laws Relevant to the Case as Explained by the Suwon Law Office
The client who held a consultation at the Suwon law office had been reported on a charge of fraud.
Fraud is the crime of deceiving a person to obtain property or pecuniary benefit.
If a charge of fraud is established, a person may be punished by imprisonment for not more than ten years or a fine not exceeding twenty million won.
Precedent Relevant to Fraud
If a cardholder uses a credit card even though he or she is not merely in a situation of being temporarily unable to perform the obligation due to a temporary shortage of funds, but is in a situation of having no intention or ability to repay the loan obligation arising from credit card use because of already excessive accumulated debt, fraud is recognized (Judgments 2006Do282, 2004Do6859)
Elements of the Crime of Fraud
For fraud to be committed, the following elements must be satisfied.
▶ The other party must be deceived and led into a mistaken belief.
▶ The other party who is under the mistaken belief must dispose of property.
▶ The deceiver or a third party must acquire the property.
▶ A property loss must occur to the victim.
3. The Suwon Law Office's Assistance
The Suwon attorney analyzed precedents and case experience relevant to the case and established a step-by-step response.
To establish that there was no fraud, the attorney argued the following.
Suwon Law Office's Argument ① No Intent to Deceive
During Savings Bank A's review process, the client never gave false information or submitted false documents regarding whether a concurrent loan was being taken out.
The client did not have a plan to take out concurrent loans from the outset, but applied for an additional loan because of a shortage of money after suffering fraud.
If the client had intended to defraud money, he would not have given truthful information about whether a concurrent loan was being taken out during Bank A's loan review process.
The attorney therefore emphasized that it could not be concluded that the client had deceived Bank A with an intent to defraud from the outset and obtained pecuniary benefit.
Suwon Law Office's Argument ② Whether Fraud Is Established
As of the morning, the client had not applied for a concurrent loan.
Savings Bank A decided on the loan after conducting an investigation into the client's repayment ability by comprehensively considering the documents the client submitted and the results of the credit information inquiry.
The bank determined all of the terms of the loan agreement, including the repayment method, the loan period, and the means of repayment.
Because whether fraud is established must be judged as of the time of the act, the attorney emphasized that the client's act does not constitute fraud.
4. The Prosecution's Decision on the Suwon Law Office's Argument
The prosecution accepted the Suwon law office's argument and ultimately made a non-prosecution (no suspicion of crime) decision.
The client expressed deep gratitude to the Suwon attorney.
