(Gwangju = Yonhap News) Reporter Park Cheol-hong = The prosecution arrested and indicted a fraudster who committed 2.8 billion virtual asset fraud.
The fraudster attempted to solicit the case from the investigative authorities by giving money to the case broker, and the prosecution’s follow-up investigation with prosecutors and police is of interest.
Gwangju Prosecutor’s Office Criminal Division 3 (Chief Prosecutor Han Mun-hyuk) announced that Mr. A (44) was arrested and indicted on charges of violating the Act on Aggravated Punishment for Specific Economic Crimes (Fraud).
Mr. A is accused of defrauding 13 victims of approximately 2.8 billion won in unlisted stock investments, art NFT-linked virtual currency investments, etc., promising high returns and guaranteed principal from 2021 to 2022.
As a result of the investigation, it was revealed that Mr. A used the money he received from the victims for personal purposes, such as entertainment expenses, debt repayment, and the purchase of luxury goods.
It was revealed through the prosecution’s investigation that Mr. A was being investigated for another fraud case separately from this case and had given money and valuables to brokers and made requests. The brokers in the case, Mr. Seong (62) and Mr. Jeon (63), have already been indicted and are on trial.
Mr. Seong and Mr. Jeon were charged with violating the Attorney-at-Law Act by receiving a total of 1.854 billion won on several occasions from donors such as Mr. A, who were investigated for fraud cases in 2020 and 2021, saying, “I will resolve the case well.” .
The prosecution, which indicted Mr. Seong, believes that he actually requested the prosecution and the police to conduct an investigation or personnel affairs, and is conducting a follow-up investigation, including arresting the prosecution investigator and conducting a search and seizure of current police executives and investigation departments.
