Case summary
This file is indexed as “Moving-company employee theft: closed by summary fine”. It was classified as Theft (Criminal Act Je329Jo). The recorded outcome is Summary fine.
Penalties and related statutes
Korean Criminal Act counts for assault, fraud, embezzlement and related property crimes sit beside special statutes when a file is stacked. Charging language, loss figures and digital traces decide the range more than a single interview. Counsel maps the statute before anyone explains the story.
Issues and defense work
Counsel treats investigation, charging and trial as three rooms. The work is to freeze statements, banking and device data before a narrative hardens, then force the file to name the actual role — not a slogan about intent. This file was classified as Theft (Criminal Act Je329Jo), with the outcome Summary fine.
Result of defense work
The indexed outcome is Summary fine. Sentencing and charging exits turn on early evidence, harm repair where it applies, and a record the court can use — not a speech about remorse.
Practice notes
Do not reconstruct the fight, the contract or the account trail in a police interview without counsel. Photos, CCTV and banking hops move faster than explanations. A first call should name the charge, the venue and the next clock.

Before you call
Should I explain the fight or the contract at the first police interview?
Usually no. The first statement often becomes the whole file. Call intake, map the charge and venue, then decide what — if anything — is said on the record.
If the other side wants money, does paying end the criminal case?
Not by itself. Settlement can matter for sentencing or charging discretion, but fraud, embezzlement and assault files still move on evidence. Wording belongs with counsel.
