However, the Defendant, without any special property or income at the time, was liable for the obligations of financial institutions 16 million won, debt 5 million won, and debt 5 million won. Although the Defendant was holding an election by soliciting election funds, it was merely a situation of KRW 17 million of the total collected amount, and thus, even if the Defendant was provided with the above services by the victim, there was no intention or ability to pay the service payment as promised by the victim.
The defendant deceivings the victim as such and acquired a total of KRW 40 million from May 2018 to June 1, 2018, by being provided with services equivalent to KRW 40 million from May 1, 2018.

However, the Defendant had no intention or ability to return the principal and interest of the loan as agreed upon by the victim even if he borrowed money from the victim, given that the Defendant had a financial institution’s debts of KRW 16 million, and KRW 50 million, without any special property or income at the time. At around 19:50 on the 21st day of the same month, the Defendant was released from the victim with an account in the name of the Defendant’s credit union (1340xxxxxx) at around 19:50 on the 21st day of the same month.

The Defendant was the head of the Gimdong-dong Office of the 2019 Godong-gu Office of the Defendant, and the victim’s withdrawal (tentative name) requested a divorce lawsuit with the above her husband through the Defendant around October 2016.
3. Embezzlement on April 3, 2017
As the difference between the defendant and the victim has aggravated, it is necessary for the victim to take advantage of the victim's phone call on April 3, 2017, and for the victim to apply for provisional attachment to the account in the name of South and North, and on April 3, 2017, the defendant sent 3.7 million won as litigation costs. On the same day, the victim was remitted 3.7 million won from the victim to the account of community credit cooperatives in the name of the defendant.
Defendant was in custody of the above litigation cost of 370 million won for the victim, and was consumed for personal use, such as living expenses, according to the mind of the victim around that time.
Accordingly, the defendant embezzled the victim's property.

Around April 6, 2017, Defendant 2: (a) called “the State bank account in the name of South and North Korea and the Agricultural Cooperative account should be deposited in provisional seizure.” On the same day, Defendant 25 million won was transferred from the victim to the Saemaul Treasury account in the name of the Defendant on the same day. While Defendant 25 million won was kept in the custody of the said deposit in the name of the victim on April 7, 2017, Defendant 20 million won was consumed for personal use without returning the remaining amount to the victim.
