South Korean Man Accused of Faking Wife’s Death in Car Accident for Insurance Money

A South Korean man is suspected of creating a fake car accident in 2014, which resulted in the death of his 7-month pregnant wife, and then fraudulently received insurance money. However, the case was found insufficient by the court in 2020, and the man was acquitted and released. The man then appealed to 11 insurance companies. Recently, the judgment of one of the companies came out and the man was awarded compensation.

A South Korean man surnamed Li, since he married a Cambodian woman in 2008, has bought 25 insurance policies for his wife with an insurance coverage of 9.5 billion won (approximately HK$57 million). At around 3:00 am on August 23, 2014, Li Nan drove his 7-month-pregnant wife into a truck that was parked on the Kyungbu Expressway in Tianan City. His wife died in the accident. .

Li Nan was later accused of intentionally causing a car accident by murdering his wife. He was sentenced to life imprisonment, but finally appealed to the Daejeon High Court. The court ruled that fatigue was the main cause of the crash, but there was no evidence that Li had a clear motive for the murder. In the end, Li Nan was sentenced to 2 years in prison for violating the “Traffic Accident Law”, but there was insufficient evidence for murder and insurance fraud, so he was not established.

Li Nan then appealed to 11 insurance companies, and the court recently ruled that one of the companies must pay Li Nan the insurance premium. If Li Nanquan wins the lawsuit, he will receive more than 10 million yuan in insurance compensation.
