(Society)Strengthen sentencing standards for “Daepo bank account transactions”… up to four years in prison for criminal purposes

The Supreme Court’s sentencing committee said it had deliberated on a plan to increase the overall recommended sentence for violations of the Electronic Financial Transactions Act.

The amendment provides for a prison sentence of up to four years for commercial, organized and criminal purposes, with the maximum sentence currently being two and a half years in prison.

In response, the sentencing commission explained that it had extensively examined the specificity and social perception of crimes used as a means to commit multiple crimes.

The sentencing committee will finalize the new sentencing standards in March next year, after public hearings and surveys of relevant organizations.

The sentencing criteria are used by judges to evaluate sentences when making decisions, and although they do not necessarily have to be followed, reasonable reasons must be given for making decisions that deviate from them .
