The company's headquarters filed 22 complaints, including malpractice, against branches operated under an independent property system, but all cases were closed with a decision not to forward the case or indict at the investigation stage.
According to Daeryun Law Firm on the 22nd, the main details of the case are as follows. The suspect's company was merged with a stock company under the condition of merging while establishing a new corporation. However, as a conflict arose, it was agreed that the suspect would take charge of Branch A and operate it as an independent property system, that is, as a separate corporation.
Sales and profits were accounted for separately from the headquarters, but the company's headquarters experienced financial difficulties and Branch A, which was in charge of the suspect, saw an increase in sales. Accordingly, the head office claimed that the company had caused billions of won in damages through accounts receivables, paybacks, etc., and filed 22 lawsuits against the suspects, including embezzlement and breach of trust.
Rather, the suspect complained that he had suffered damages worth billions of won from the initial transfer and acquisition of the business. At the police investigation stage, 21 cases were not forwarded, and one case was not indicted without charges a week after being forwarded to the prosecution.
The competent prosecutor's office said, “According to the data provided by the suspect's lawyer, it can be seen that an appropriate remittance was made and an appropriate tax invoice was issued accordingly,” and “It is difficult to acknowledge the fact of the suspect based solely on the plaintiff's speculative claims, and there is no sufficient evidence to otherwise acknowledge the fact of the suspect.”
Daeryun Law Firm, which represented the suspect, explained, “A lawyer who was a senior prosecutor in the special department personally attended the investigation and accompanied the case from the beginning, responding to statements,” and added, “There seemed to be a problem with the suspect arbitrarily using the company’s sales and profits, but since he did not use the company’s sales and profits for his own purposes and used them to run the branch, he actively argued that there was no intention to illegally obtain the money, and it appears that he was able to get an acquittal.”
