Drunk Person's Fingerprint Used to Transfer Tens of Millions Won... Man in His 30s Arrested and Indicted

A man in his 30s who swindled tens of millions of won by dragging the hands of intoxicated individuals and transferring money through smartphone fingerprint recognition has been indicted while in custody.

The Criminal Division 2 of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office (Chief Prosecutor Kwon Yusik) announced on the 31st that they had arrested and indicted Jang Mo (32) on charges of theft, robbery causing injury, extortion, and computer-related fraud. Jang is accused of manipulating the mobile phones of four intoxicated individuals in the Gangnam area of Seoul from the 1st to the 28th of last month, executing mobile banking, and transferring 32.5 million won to his own account using fingerprint recognition.

During this process, he forcibly grabbed the hand of one victim, causing injuries requiring two weeks of medical treatment. After taking the victims' phones, when they called, he threatened them by saying, "You molested my wife and vomited on my clothes and car," attempting to extort settlement money.

After receiving the case from the police, the prosecution, during supplementary investigation, additionally charged Jang with violating the Information and Communications Network Act for making about 40 threatening contacts from early morning the day after the crime to a victim who had suspended payments on his account.
