A group of phantom investment companies who tricked investors into getting 3.6 billion won in investment money that unlisted stocks will be listed soon were arrested and handed over to the prosecution.
The Gangbuk Police Station in Seoul announced on the 18th that it had arrested 15 people per day, including Mr.
The police detained 4 of them, and sent 11 without detention.
They are accused of making random calls to stock investors from November of last year to May of this year and cheating, saying, "Unlisted stocks will be listed in two or three months" and stealing investments worth 3.6 billion won from more than 190 people.
In the process, it was confirmed that the crime was carried out by systematically dividing roles such as the representative, the head of the accounting department, the education book, and the team leader.
The police, who investigated the case, received a decision to preserve the additional collection before indictment from the court for 1.5 billion won of criminal proceeds.
A decision to preserve additional collection before indictment is a measure that prevents the suspect from disposing of illegally acquired property, such as real estate, before the court judges the charges.
A police official said, "As we recommend investing in unlisted stocks, we urge you not to be deceived by unconfirmed publicity phrases such as 'short-term high returns' and 'to be listed', and to make a decision carefully."
