A scammer released from bail was sentenced to death in a trial, but he was evaded from court due to Corona19.

On the 19th, the North District Court of Seoul sentenced one year of imprisonment without probation to Lee Mo (23), who was charged with fraud, but was not confined because he was concerned about the spread of Corona 19 in prisons.

As a result, Lee was able to face a second trial in a state of disability for the time being if he appealed.

A court official said, "The detention of the defendant depends on the nature and severity of the individual case." Corona 19 seems to have taken into account the concern of infection inside the detention center in a serious current situation. "

The official explained, however, that "the court has not issued a recommendation in the court to refrain from arresting the defendant in relation to the recent Corona 19 situation because it may affect the judgment of individual judges."

Mr. Lee has been tried on charges of taking about 60 million won by using a method such as taking a mobile phone or a car as a bait, stealing it, stealing the name of another person and obtaining a loan from an internet bank.
