It was estimated that the charter fraudster recently arrested and sent by the Gwangju Police Agency was put on the blacklist of more malicious lessors than the so-called 'Villa King'.
The Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Investigation Team of the Gwangju Police Agency said that they were carrying out a follow-up investigation into the accomplices after arresting and sending a 50-year-old surnamed Jeong on charges of committing a charter fraud of 48 billion won as of the date of the transfer.
Mr. Jeong bought a large number of new houses (villas) with little money by using the 'no capital/gap investment' method of buying villas signed for temporary contracts between 2019 and 2020 with the money received as a deposit from the tenant.
Most of the about 400 villas (houses) he bought were lower than the rental deposit and turned into 'can charter'.
Mr. Jeong claimed to have run this kind of business, but the reality of the business was not specifically confirmed, and it was revealed that he had committed this charter scam with no capital.
As of the date of sending, there were 208 households whose deposits were not returned after the rental period expired, with damages amounting to 48 billion won.
Mr. Jung's crime damage (accident amount) is more than the 'Villa King', which paid 33.4 billion won in guarantee accident amount.
In fact, Mr. Jeong is estimated to be the person who ranked second among the top 10 blacklists of 'malicious lessors' that Democratic Party lawmaker Park Sang-hyuk received from the HUG side and made public.
Congressman Park's office was not handed over the real name of the malicious lessor from HUG under the Personal Information Protection Act, and the police did not specifically confirm the ranking.
However, the amount of damage that continues to increase is similar to each other and the person with the same surname is presumed to be the same person, as Jung is the only one in the ranking.
As of the end of November, the person (Mr. Jeong), who ranked second on the list of malicious landlords, was counted as having failed to return 60 billion won in deposits to tenants in 254 contracts as of the end of November.
The police are still investigating the case after Jung's repatriation.
We are investigating female crimes, such as realtors and brokers, who were involved in the process of buying a villa and renting it out with Mr. Jeong, and additional charges are being made against Mr. Jeong's family, who were directly or indirectly involved in the crime.
A police official said, “The amount of damage related to Jeong is expected to increase sequentially when the charter contract expires, so the amount of damage cannot be confirmed at this time.” said.
