93 patients were sentenced to 2 years in prison for stealing 200 million won in medical expenses.

The Chuncheon District Court sentenced 47-year-old A to two years in prison for stealing hundreds of millions of won in patient medical expenses while working as a dental counseling chief.

From April last year to February this year, A was charged with receiving KRW 20.8 million in medical expenses from 93 patients into his account or receiving it directly in cash and using it for personal use.

Mr. A committed the crime when his economic situation became difficult due to a big debt, and he was released from prison in February last year after serving eight months in prison for embezzlement.

The court said that prison sentences were inevitable, saying that the victim was not agreed with and that he committed the crime just a month after he was released from prison after serving time for the same crime.
