■ Case Summary In connection with the operation of a welfare facility for the disabled, the client was charged with embezzling money from the facility's users and violating the Disability Welfare Act. The prosecution argued that the client had embezzled the money, but the first instance court acquitted him of most of the charges due to lack of evidence, and he pleaded guilty to a partial amount of the charges and was sentenced to a fine. The prosecution appealed, and the client approached Ongang Law Firm. ■ Case Issues The main issues in this case were twofold: first, the existence of an intent to illegally benefit for the client's alleged embezzlement, and second, whether the alleged violation of the Disability Welfare Act was proven. In particular, there was a significant difference between the amount of embezzlement alleged by the prosecution and the actual amount proven.

The prosecutor appealed that the original sentence was too light, citing that the defendants' crimes were organized and planned, and that the damage was severe, while the defendants appealed that the sentence was too heavy. In particular, the individual assessment of the defendants' degree of involvement and the circumstances after the crime were important issues. From the outset of the case, Onkang's defense team focused on the defendants' individual level of participation, motive for the crime, and post-crime circumstances.

The prosecution argued that the client had no intention or ability to repay from the beginning, while the defense emphasized that the delay in repayment was a temporary delay caused by the process of raising funds for business expansion. Second, the possibility of restitution and settlement. Given the client's criminal record, settlement with the victim was essential to avoid imprisonment. ■ Resolving the Issues Ongang's defense team developed the following defense strategy: First, we focused on aggressive settlement mediation with the victim.

Our client, who was working as an employee at a company run by our client, suddenly disappeared one day and accused our client of embezzlement by withdrawing cash from the company's account. ■ Case Issues The client's withdrawal of cash from the company's account on several occasions was clearly confirmed by the account transaction history, and the key issue was to prove that the client did not withdraw the cash for personal use. In response to the client's assertion that he withdrew cash to pay his business partners who demanded cash payments, but never to use it for personal purposes, our attorneys provided the client with transaction statements to support this claim and delivered a detailed denial of the embezzlement allegation to the police officer in charge, along with the attorneys' opinions.

The client came to Ongang Law Firm to file a criminal complaint because the defendant, who was in a romantic relationship with the client, lent her money because he needed it for his business, but she did not get it back. The client lent money to the defendant, her boyfriend, for a business, but the defendant did not borrow the money for the business but used it to pay off his gambling debts, deceiving the client, and since the defendant did not do the business he said he would do, the client needed to synthesize the relevant data to prosecute the crime of fraud. Our lawyers analyzed the client's conversations with the accused, his bank transfers, and his conversations with other people, and found that the accused was unwilling and unable to repay the money he borrowed from the client, and that he had falsely deceived the client. We also found that the accused was in a relationship with the client but was also in a relationship with another woman. Based on these facts, we filed a complaint and a supplemental complaint.
