"50-Year-Old Sentenced to Prison for Embezzling Over 60 Million Won Borrowed for Son's Wedding Expenses"

A woman in her 50s who embezzled over 60 million won, including borrowing money for her son's wedding expenses, was sentenced to prison.

On the 30th, Judge Kim Jae-eun of the Seoul Southern District Court Criminal Division 13 announced that A (53), accused of fraud, was sentenced to 10 months in prison.

A lied to the victim B, saying, "If you lend me 10 million won for my son's wedding expenses, I will repay you by receiving 20 million won out of the 40 million won deposit for the pub I co-own." From January 2019 to March 2020, A embezzled 54,631,609 won in 29 installments using similar methods.

Additionally, A falsely told the same victim, "If you pay my credit card bill, I will borrow 25 million won from an acquaintance to repay you." Using this method, A took a total of 7.68 million won in nine installments from August 2019 to April 2020.

The court stated, "The defendant deceived the same victim multiple times, embezzling a considerable amount of money and has not been forgiven by the victim."

However, A's confession to the crimes and the means and results of the offenses were considered favorable circumstances.
