Will I be detained for fraud?

Hello. This is Daeryun Law Firm (LLC).

Whatever the circumstances, if you find yourself in the position of a perpetrator who could be subject to fraud detention, this is not a matter to be taken lightly, and you must seek the assistance of a legal representative.

Fraud can be established when someone, with intent and intent to gain unlawful benefit, deceives another person to receive property or obtain economic benefits.

According to the Criminal Act, if a person engages in deceptive acts that may cause confusion in another person's decision-making and causes property damage, fraud is established. There is no specific standard for what constitutes deception, but if it leads a person into error, it can be established.

Fraud is fundamentally punishable under the Criminal Act with imprisonment of up to 10 years or a fine of up to 20 million won, making it a serious crime, and the level of punishment increases depending on the amount swindled, which can be problematic.

Furthermore, if the damage amount is 500 million won or more, it can also be punished under the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Economic Crimes, with the punishment strengthened to imprisonment of at least 3 years or more, so please conduct a thorough review with a specialist attorney regarding the case.

When there are many victims or large amounts involved, the investigative agency is more likely to apply pressure, which makes it difficult for ordinary people to respond clearly and creates the possibility of making statements unfavorable to the investigative agency.

Therefore, please do not respond alone and resolve the matter together with a defense attorney who can provide legal support and tailored advice for your situation to receive leniency and prevent fraud detention.
