Changwon Attorney Assistance Case | Client Charged with Fraud, Non-Referral

The account of the client to request help is as follows.

The client had been dating her boyfriend for about three years and was living an ordinary life.

One incident, however, led to a serious quarrel between the two, and they naturally drifted apart and decided to break up.

Some time later, the client received a call from an investigative agency informing her that an investigation was beginning on a charge of 🔗fraud.

The reason was that the client was alleged to have defrauded her boyfriend of 40 million won while they were dating.

The client, who had committed no unlawful act, was booked on a fraud charge and could not hide her bewilderment.

Wishing to proceed with the case together with an attorney and resolve the matter promptly, she requested help from a Changwon attorney.

For the crime of fraud to be established, several conditions must be met. Let us take a closer look at the elements of the crime of fraud.

The elements of the crime of fraud differ between the standard that ordinary people have in mind and the requirements the court applies, so consulting an attorney and proceeding with the case together can be helpful rather than responding on your own.

If a fraud charge is established, the offender may be punished by imprisonment for up to ten years or a fine of up to twenty million won.

It is true that the client received a transfer of about 40 million won from the complainant.

The money, however, was a gift from the complainant, with whom the client was dating at the time.

The attorney emphasized that the client had not deceived the complainant as to her ability or intention to repay, so the crime of fraud was not established.

The complainant, who knew that the client's family circumstances were difficult, voluntarily transferred money to the client.

The complainant, however, harbored dissatisfaction over the breakup and filed the complaint against the client with retaliatory intent.

The attorney therefore emphasized that the client bore no fraud charge whatsoever.

If you are involved in a criminal case, you should analyze the situation from a legal perspective, assess whether the charge is established, and respond systematically.

To avoid the risk of being wrongly subjected to excessive punishment, seeking the help of an attorney can be of considerable importance.
