Tax broker closed due to re-investigation
Defendant tried to conceal the crime by plaguing the executives of the clan.
A tax broker and a member of the group’s executives who swindled out the remaining money by tricking them into paying 1 billion won in capital gains tax instead of paying 4 million won in corporate tax from the sale of the group’s land were brought to trial.
According to the coverage of the Seoul Shinmun on the 17th, the Suwon District Prosecutors’ Office Pyeongtaek Branch Criminal Division 3 (Chief Yong Tae-ho) arrested Mr. He was arrested and indicted on the charges on the 12th. The tax accountant who returned the acquired amount was indicted without detention.
●Remit money with confidence, “It’s cheaper if you go through a tax accountant you know.”
In March 2018, Mr. A conspired with the chairman, general secretary, and tax accountant of the group to deceive the executives of the group by saying, “I think I will have to pay 1 billion won in capital gains tax due to the sale of land.” When selling clan land, the executives of the clan did not know that land used for purposes specific to the tax law was excluded from corporate taxation. Accordingly, it is said that 980 million won was paid to Mr. A, believing only the saying, “It is cheaper if you go through a tax accountant you know.”
When the executives of the group learned that the facts were false, they immediately sued Mr. A. However, Mr. A meticulously concealed the crime by coaxing the group’s chairman, general secretary, and tax accountant to write a false statement of facts and adjust his words in advance in preparation for the investigation.
Accordingly, in June 2022, the police forwarded the case with the opinion of non-indictment, and the prosecution also disposed of non-indictment in some old-style terms.
●Accounts and communications are seized and searched upon complaint by jongjung executives
The executives of the sect appealed. In October last year, the Suwon High Prosecutors’ Office ordered a reinvestigation into the case, and the case was assigned to the Pyeongtaek branch.
Since February of this year, the prosecution has conducted searches and seizures of accounts, communications, and residences and investigated the people involved in the case to determine the background of the case.
