From August last year to March this year, A conspired with local seniors and juniors, saying "If you just sit in the vehicle, you will be paid a service fee," and intentionally caused vehicle contact accidents 17 times at places such as a roundabout in Miryang, Gyeongnam.

Afterwards, he received about 84 million won under the pretexts of medical expenses, vehicle repair costs, and settlement money.

Judge Cha stated, "Insurance fraud is a serious crime that imposes economic damage on many insurance subscribers," and "The crime was committed in an organized and planned manner in collusion with multiple accomplices, so the nature of the crime is not good."
