The judge also criticized the case as ”the worst of the worst”... The method used by the woman who stole 200 million won from her classmates, mother and daughter (South Korea)

A woman in her 20s who framed a classmate as a thief and stole 200 million won (approximately 20 million yen) over a two-year period was sentenced to six years in prison. The victim's mother suffered from blackmail and intimidation and eventually died.
Judge Baek Gwang-gyun of the Busan District Court arrested and indicted the suspect on charges of violating laws related to blackmail, extortion, defamation, threats, trespassing, and the punishment of stalking crimes.
Judge Baek sentenced Defendant A (27) to six years in prison. "The judiciary needs to uncover the harsh truth that the real world is a much more brutal place to pay the price than the virtual world," he said.
"The fact that the defendant was a thief is a very serious matter, and this desperation is the foundation for realizing the rule of law," he said, and took an unusual step of strongly criticizing Defendant A and giving him a heavy sentence. After seeing his classmate, B, touching his wallet, Defendant A said, "I'm a thief."
The defendant A falsely accused B of "the act was captured on CCTV" and began to steal his money and valuables. Although B had only touched his wallet, he was forced to give up 930,000 won (approximately 10,000 yen) due to the repeated threats from the defendant A.
Defendant A's crimes did not end there. Defendant A visited B's mother's credit card account and demanded money, accusing her of stealing from the store where he worked.
The perpetrator even brought up a story from his college days, falsely accused Mr. B of stealing money from another classmate, and stole the money.
Defendant A stole money from the mother and daughter in 34 transactions over a two-year period, totalling 200.96 million won (approximately 23.87 million yen).
The money stolen in this way was reportedly spent on lovers and for living expenses. Unable to bear this, the mother and daughter filed a complaint against the defendant for blackmail, and the defendant A fled for a year, after which he was arrested.
He was arrested by the police. Unfortunately, Mr. B's mother was found dead at home after suffering from this incident. Judge Baek said, "Mr. B has a kind heart, so even though there was no suspicion of theft,
"The victims had built loving families and lived happily every day, but the crimes of Defendant A caused the loss of a great deal of property and irreplaceable assets.
"Even if we look only at the crime of blackmail, which is the core of this case, the situation after the crime is so bad that it is difficult to find a worse case," he said.
"It's cruel and tragic," he said. "If you add in the related crimes of extortion and stalking in an attempt to extract even more money, it stands to reason that this is the worst of the worst."
