Case overview
The client was experiencing mental distress due to personal circumstances, which led him to fraudulently use another person's social security card to obtain medical care and prescription drugs in order to address his substance dependence.
He was subsequently investigated for this, and during the course of the case, he deeply reflected on his wrongdoing and came to us for legal assistance.
Case issues
The main issues in the case were the fraudulent use of another person's national ID card and fraudulent receipt of National Health Insurance benefits, which can be severely punished by law.
Assistance from Ongang
Ong Kang's defense team thoroughly examined the client's mental and psychological condition, emphasizing that the client was suffering from severe depression and drug dependence at the time of the crime, which impaired his ability to make sound judgments. To prove this point, the team thoroughly examined the client's past treatment records and related counseling history, and submitted hospitalization records and psychological treatment history as evidence.
We also prepared an affidavit and additional materials to effectively communicate to the judge that our client has been voluntarily undergoing treatment since the incident and is working to prevent reoffense, and that he is deeply remorseful.
In particular, we thoroughly analyzed and submitted GPS records, photographic evidence, and more to prove that our client was not involved in any other fraudulent use cases other than the one in question, and we were successful in denying our client's connection to the separate case.
■ Result
With the assistance of Onkang Law Firm, our client was fined 1 million won on summary judgment on charges of violating the Resident Registration Act, fraud, and violating the National Health Insurance Act. 1 million won in summary judgmentand avoided further criminal penalties or imprisonment.
