Suwon District Prosecutors' Office Arrests and Indicts 5 Members of Loan Fraud Gang for Fake Orders of Dakgangjeong Worth 330,000 Won

[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Seok-jin] A group who falsely ordered 330,000 won worth of Dakgangjeong to the house of an accomplice who had fled has been brought to trial.

The Suwon District Prosecutors' Office Seongnam Branch (Chief Prosecutor Joo Young-hwan) announced on the 7th that five members of a loan fraud gang involved in the false Dakgangjeong order case were arrested and indicted on charges including obstruction of business, joint confinement, and fraud.

According to the prosecution, five friends including A (20) are accused of forging employment certificates of B (19), who was unemployed, from November last year to January this year to use in loan fraud and embezzling 17 million won.

They reportedly coerced B and others, who came after seeing an online advertisement, into participating in the loan fraud, confined them in places such as motels, collectively assaulted them, and extorted loan money and mobile phones.

In particular, on December 24 last year, when B, feeling guilty, escaped from the motel, it was revealed that the group retaliated by falsely ordering 330,000 won worth of Dakgangjeong to B’s house.

At that time, the store owner posted a report on an internet community, which sparked public outrage among netizens.
