01. Background

The client participated in an online promotional event and was subsequently directed by a fraud organization to use their personal bank account. During the transfer of funds, the client was mistakenly suspected of being an accomplice in a voice phishing scheme and became the subject of a criminal investigation.


In reality, the client was more of a victim, having acted under the organization's instructions and threats. Nevertheless, the client became entangled in criminal proceedings due to a misunderstanding by the investigative authorities.


Recognizing the need for legal assistance from the early stages of the case, the client sought help from MegaX Law Office, which specializes in criminal defense.

03. Legal Strategy

MegaX Law Office focused on the fact that the client had been exploited by the fraud organization without any criminal intent.


By submitting objective evidence to the investigative authorities, MegaX provided a detailed explanation of the circumstances surrounding the fund transfers and the organization's chain of command. MegaX actively demonstrated that the client's actions resulted from being victimized by the organization rather than knowingly participating in the crime.


As a result, the client was cleared of suspicion of complicity, and the case was closed at the preliminary investigation stage without formal criminal charges.
