Golden Finance reported that a South Korean criminal gang that defrauded about 16 billion won (about 11.96 million U.S. dollars) from more than 150 victims was arrested by the police. To avoid police tracking, these people underwent plastic surgery such as facial contouring surgery and wore wigs. From November 2021 to June 2022, the Financial Crime Investigation Team of the Urban Investigation Department of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency deceived 158 victims and collected about 16 billion won from the victims. Among them, the leader of the gang, A, who embezzled about 4.5 billion won, was arrested on suspicion of fraud, violation of the Quasi-Receipt Act, and violation of the Electronic Act. A used a variety of means to escape. He underwent double eyelid, nose, and facial contouring surgery worth about 21 million won and wore a wig. A also frequently changed his residence with the help of acquaintances, used fake mobile phones and fake bank accounts. The police seized and confiscated 100 million won from the hiding place where A was arrested, and seized 1.3 billion won in assets from A and others before prosecution.
