After setting up a dormitory, the police arrested 20-somethings who concocted and executed crimes while living together.

The investigative authorities are also considering applying the crime of organizing a criminal group because they are not gangsters, but their crimes are bad and organized.



First, reporter Kim Ji-wook exclusively covered what kind of crime they committed.



<Reporter> This



is a multi-family house in Seo-gu, Incheon.



In January of last year, two men in their 20s signed a tenant contract here.



[Neighbors: It seems that I always rode a foreign car, and the water bill seems to be high because (the owner) comes and goes a lot.] I found out that



this is a place where 6 or 7 men and women in their 20s live together, conspiring and executing crimes. It was a kind of dormitory I stayed in.



These people in their early to mid 20s called themselves 'the swordsmen'.



There are three main types of criminal methods that have been revealed so far in the police investigation.



First, they approached young women in their early 20s, got them to get a loan in return for a job, and then hijacked the money.



Only five victims have been identified so far, and the amount of damage has reached 140 million won.



He also committed an insurance fraud crime that deliberately caused a car accident using a luxury foreign car and collected insurance money.



In the course of the crime in Nowon-gu, Seoul in September last year, three hospital officials who wrote a false hospitalization confirmation letter were also arrested by the police.

He mobilized the women of his acquaintances into prostitution and then intercepted the money.



[Prostitution Victim: Almost every day, the sun goes down...

I gave everything I got.

Because ○○ took it as if it was too natural.]



Mr. A, a man in his 20s who planned and ordered all the crimes, had 27 criminal convictions, and a woman in his 20s who led loan fraud, Mr. B, had 18 criminal convictions, Mr. A's prison C, a man in his 20s, who was incarcerated, was in charge of prostitution brokerage with 11 criminal convictions.



In addition to those arrested by the prosecution, close acquaintances such as A's hometown juniors also participated in the crime.



Among the 20 or so perpetrators who were brought to trial one after another since last year, there were also 41 criminals.



[Shim Beom-gyu/Criminal Division 2, Incheon West Police Station: There have been five confirmed victims so far, but I think there will be more victims for each crime.]



The prosecution and the police are charged with organizing a criminal group because their crimes are organized and of poor quality. We are considering how to apply it.
