Case Type: Criminal

Result: Non-Prosecution (No Charges)

Case Details:

Suhn Law Group’s Criminal Team (Lead Attorney: May H. Kim) successfully defended a client accused of obstruction of business and computer-related obstruction of business, resulting in a non-prosecution decision for all allegations. This case arose from conflicts during the transfer of a startup corporation founded by the client, which escalated into a criminal complaint. With the firm’s support, the client was ultimately cleared of all false accusations.

The complainant alleged that the client concealed violations of the Capital Markets Act while entering into a service contract, abruptly disappeared, and caused computer-related obstruction by setting a password on a work PC without providing it, thereby disrupting business operations. The firm argued and proved that the client had clearly disclosed any Capital Markets Act issues to the complainant at the time of the contract, and that merely setting a password on a PC does not constitute “computer-related obstruction of business” under the law.

Through detailed consultation with the client, Suhn Law Group’s Criminal Team collected all relevant objective evidence supporting the client’s claims, including contracts, emails, and messenger communications. The team also documented that the client had fully disclosed the Capital Markets Act issue in advance and had diligently carried out the handover process after leaving the company.

During the investigation, the team actively communicated with the investigating officer to effectively present the client’s position, promptly submitted rebuttal materials to counter the complainant’s claims, and clearly demonstrated that the client had no intent to obstruct business.

Thanks to the thorough legal assistance from Suhn Law Group’s Criminal Team (Lead Attorney: May H. Kim), the unfounded criminal complaint from the transferee was ultimately dismissed with a non-prosecution (no charges) decision, fully exonerating the client. Suhn Law Group will continue to protect clients’ legitimate rights and prevent unjust accusations.
