Alleged violation of special law (fraud) after defrauding KRW 1.7 billion by false promise to move into a building and appealing the decision to dismiss the case

The suspect told the client, "A civic organization and a hospital will move into the building owned by a corporation of which he is the CEO, and when they move in, he will immediately pay the debt with a deposit of KRW 2 billion." The suspect registered the client as the secondary beneficiary in the building's trust ledger and borrowed a total of KRW 1.7 billion from the client. The suspect then told the client that he would repay the loan if the client removed his status as the secondary beneficiary in order to obtain a new loan, and if he did not repay the loan, he would list him as the secondary beneficiary. However, when the client investigated, it turned out that A civic organization had no plans to move into the building, and the hospital was only in the process of inquiring. In addition, the suspect only repaid a partial amount of KRW 700 million and did not list the client as the secondary beneficiary. The client filed a lawsuit against the suspect for violation of the Act on Aggravated Punishment of Specified Economic Crimes (fraud), but the case was dismissed due to lack of suspicion, and the client filed an appeal.

The client was so traumatized by the respondent's behavior that she attempted suicide several times, and suffered physical injuries that were difficult to repair, leaving her with extreme anxiety that prevented her from functioning in her daily life. ■ Case Issues The original prosecutor made a mechanical error of judgment by partially prosecuting and partially not prosecuting the same pattern of grooming sexual offenses over a number of years without clear criteria, and the original prosecutor used the case hearing to clarify the nature of the hierarchy exercised by the respondent and the extent to which it distorted the appellant's sexual decisions,
