Criminal facts
Around February 25, 2013, the Defendant drafted a false complaint against E, who is a D employee, at the inside of the house of the suspect in Guro-gu Seoul Metropolitan Government.
The complaint was that “Defendant E, the construction site of the F apartment at Jung-Eup on August 2012, 2012, divulged and stolen the 28 tons of steel bars owned by A (the market price shall be 27,780,000 won) from outside without permission, and thus punished.”
However, at the time, the Defendant filed a criminal complaint from G to the seller’s fraud by not paying part of the steel bars at the time. During the course of the investigation into the said fraud case, the Defendant filed a criminal complaint against E by larceny in order to vindicate that it was stolen for the reason that the part of the steel bars not having been returned to the seller was stolen. The fact was that the Defendant agreed to move H and the steel bars, the president, and that E and the Defendant moved together, and that there was no theft of the said steel bars.
Nevertheless, around March 5, 2013, the defendant submitted a complaint stating the above false facts by mail to the public service center of the Si/Eup/Myeon Police Station located in Si/Madong-dong.
Accordingly, the defendant made a false accusation against E for the purpose of having the E receive criminal punishment.
