On the 22nd, the Busan District Court imposed a fine of 3,000 yen on suspect A, who was indicted on charges of embezzlement of property that had been taken from his possession.
On the afternoon of May 30, 2024, suspect A found the wallet that B had lost on a road in Yeongdo-gu, Busan.
The suspects were indicted on charges of finding the wallet but failing to follow the return procedure. B's wallet contained 500,000 won (approximately 52,000 yen) in cash and identification cards, but A had no money in the wallet.
He claimed that he had thrown away his wallet on his way home. The court did not accept this argument, based on security camera footage from the scene and the suspect's movements.
The court ruled, "If there is money in a wallet, it is not necessary for the defendant to move the wallet a considerable distance away from the wallet with the intention of taking it.
The court ruled that "since he took control of the wallet of the deceased, he must be considered to have committed EMBEZZLEMENT." It was found that Suspect A had a history of being punished for fraud and other crimes, and that he committed this crime during a period of repeated offenses.
It was.
