Will I be punished on charges of violating the Emergency Medical Service Act?

I am facing an investigation on charges of violating the Emergency Medical Service Act. My child was very sick, so we went to the emergency room, but they treated a patient who arrived later than my child first. I was so angry that, in the middle of a heated argument, I struck one of the medical staff a few times... I did so out of concern as the child's father, but I am told that punishment may be imposed for violating the Emergency Medical Service Act. What is the level of punishment?

Please tell me the level of punishment for electronic financial fraud.

Hello. Recently, my mother requested through KakaoTalk that I send gift certificates, so out of filial devotion I sent nine gift certificates worth 100,000 won each. When I asked the reason at the time, my mother said she wanted to go shopping, so I sent them without much suspicion. However, when I actually checked with my mother a few days later, I learned that her Kakao account had been hacked and that it was a smishing fraud in which someone else had impersonated her. In such a case, is there a way for me to recover the amount of the gift certificates I sent? And I would like to know what procedure I should follow as a victim of electronic financial fraud. I would appreciate your answer.

However, since we are a company without a separate legal team, we are at a loss as to how to respond.

Hello, I would like to ask about the level of punishment for an indecent act by a relative.. I really know I should not have.. but without thinking, I touched the breasts and buttocks of my younger cousin while she was sleeping.. I thought she would not notice, but it seems she was awake.

If I report tax evasion, can I receive a reward?

An acquaintance I know has been making cash transactions for a long time and has not been properly reporting taxes.

In such a case, I am curious whether I can receive a reward if I report the fact of the tax evasion. I am worried that the acquaintance might find out that I reported it.. And I would also like to know whether the criteria or procedure for paying the reward are complicated.

I have questions about the credit card debt collection procedure and personal rehabilitation.

While using a credit card, my salary at the company I currently work for was delayed, so I was unable to pay several million won in card charges. However, I received a notice that debt collection would proceed if the payment was not made. I would like to know whether, when payment is not made not long after the billing due date, the matter proceeds to debt collection this quickly. I would like to know what the debt collection procedure involves and what happens once the matter proceeds to that stage, and whether it is true that personal rehabilitation can stop it.
