<Reporter> This
is a cafe in Daegu.
Plainclothes police officers are dispatched to two men drinking tea and arrest one man red-handed.
Mr. A, in his 50s, who was arrested by the police, is being charged with attempted fraud.
Mr. A is accused of demanding money and valuables from Mr. B, who was drinking tea with Mrs. Kim Gun-hee, in exchange for employment.
Mr. A said that he needed 15 million won to return a gift to the secretary's office ahead of the Lunar New Year's Day, and he tried to trick Mrs. B into hiring her as a 5th-class secretary to guard Mrs. Kim Kun-hee if she provided the money.
[Mrs. Kim Gun-hee's secretary impersonation suspect: 50 employees, including our secretary, are managed.
Because it's New Year's Eve, you can't give me 200,000 won.
300,000 won each (I have to.)]
Mr. B, who met Mr. A through an acquaintance, made an attractive offer within a few days of meeting him.
[Suspect impersonating Mrs. Kim Gun-hee's chief of staff: Don't worry at all.
If it seems like there's trouble, I won't even bring that up to Mrs.]
However, when Mr. B, who could not clear his suspicions, reported to the police, Mr. A's fraud was revealed.
[Victim: It was called special hiring.
He said he was a secretary level 5.
'I don't give out business cards because it's top secret.'
He said this.]
When a reporter questioned Mr. A during the arrest process, he denied all charges.
While investigating whether there were any additional crimes, the Daegu Dongbu Police Station requested an arrest warrant for Mr. A on charges of attempted fraud.
