Successfully Resolving a Theft Case with a Deferred Prosecution

August 27, 2024

In this case, the client faced investigation and trial for breaking into someone else’s store while intoxicated and committing theft.

When the investigation began, the client, overwhelmed with fear, decided to leave Korea. Consequently, the investigative authorities in Korea were inclined to suspend the investigation, citing the client’s untraceable whereabouts.

However, Simon Lee emphasized that the client was willing to return to Korea at any time to cooperate with the investigation. He also assisted the client in reaching a settlement with the victim.

As a result, despite the client being outside Korea, the investigative authorities made an exceptional decision to grant a deferred prosecution. This effectively closed the case, allowing the client to re-enter Korea without any legal concerns.
