80s Asset Holder Property Controversy, What Were the Results of the Police Investigation?

A woman in her 60s, who remarried an 80s asset holder, has been under investigation for nearly a year on suspicion of embezzling 5.6 billion won, but police have ultimately decided there is no cause for charges.

On the 7th, the Incheon Police Agency's Anti-Corruption Economic Crime Investigation Unit announced that they made a 'no charges' decision regarding the 60s suspect, referred to as A, who was reported for fraud under the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Economic Crimes.

A has been accused of improperly withdrawing 5.6 billion won from her husband B's (89, deceased) bank account in collusion with her son-in-law between 2023 and June of the previous year.

The police also reached a similar 'no charges' decision regarding A's son-in-law.

Background of Remarriage and Inheritance Dispute

B, after divorcing his first wife and living alone for a long time, remarried A at the end of April last year, but died from a chronic illness only two months later, in early July of the same year.

During this process, B's son filed a complaint with the police in June of last year, claiming, "A deceived my father, who suffers from dementia, and embezzled his property."

However, the police's investigation revealed that B had notarized a will during his lifetime, stating his intention to leave his remaining assets to his wife A. The existence of this notarized will appears to have significantly complicated the proof of A's alleged wrongdoing.

"I intend to leave my remaining assets to my wife A"

A police official stated, "We have recently concluded our investigation," but added, "We cannot disclose the specific reasons for our no charges decision."
