As the housing market overheated, there were a number of cases of suspected marriage or divorce in order to win an apartment subscription, and the police were investigated. It has been confirmed that a couple who have already received a special supply of newlyweds and have already received a special supply of newlyweds have divorced under the cover to receive a subscription to another house. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport conducted an on-site inspection of illegal subscriptions in the first half of last year, and as a result, 197 suspected cases of illegal subscription such as disguised marriage, divorce, disguised transfer, sales of subscription bankbooks, and transfer of subscription qualifications, and 3 suspected cases of illegal supply by business entities. It was revealed on the 4th that it had been caught and asked the police to investigate. This inspection was conducted on 21 complexes nationwide with high probability of fraudulent subscriptions as a result of monitoring conducted by the Korea Real Estate Agency based on information such as subscription competition rate and price trend among pre-sale complexes in the first half of last year. By region, there are 3 in Seoul, 4 in Incheon, 7 in Gyeonggi, and 7 in rural areas. The 197 cases of illegal subscriptions detected were 134 cases of impersonation transfer, 35 cases of subscription passbook sales, 21 cases of transfer of subscription qualifications, and 7 cases of undercover marriage and divorce. A, a woman in her 40s who lives with two children and a cohabitation in the metropolitan area, married Mr. B in her 30s, who has three children, one month before the announcement date of recruitment for tenants, and was awarded an additional point to an apartment in the metropolitan area. A survey by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport confirmed that both Mr. B and his three children moved into Mr. A’s house just before the announcement date of recruitment for tenants, and immediately moved to their original address and divorced. A’s house was a small house with an exclusive area of ​​49m2, but it was revealed that a total of eight people, including the two disguised couples and children, as well as the husband of A, had registered as residents. It is a situation that can only emerge from the last drama that the wife’s cohabitation husband also lives in a newly married remarried family. In the end, it is the judgment of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport that a man and a man with a family of each other originally married only on paper for the purpose of an apartment and then divorced. There are more divorces than camouflage marriages. Five of the seven cases caught were suspected cases of gastric divorce. A newlywed couple, who had already won the special supply for newlyweds, was asked to investigate after finding a situation in which they had divorced under the guise of winning an additional point system for the general supply of apartments in the metropolitan area. Under the current system, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport believes that household members who have won a special supply cannot be awarded with additional points. There are also cases of illegal transactions in subscription passbooks. Mr. C, in his 40s, living with six family members in the province, moved to the address of Mr. D, who lives in the metropolitan area, and won an apartment with an additional point. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport decided that Mr. D bought Mr. C’s subscription passbook to receive a house subscription based on the fact that Mr. D carried out all subscription procedures on behalf of Mr. C, and falsely entered the documents as being relatives even though they are not related to each other. Are doing. Cases of camouflage transfer are steadily being caught. It was found that a survivor of a national merit residing in a region moved to the Goshiwon in the metropolitan area just before the announcement date for the recruitment of tenants, and then won a special merit for the national merit, signed a sale contract, and then moved to their original home. Along with this, the situation was revealed that the business entity illegally supplied a total of 31 houses at three sales sites, such as deliberately winning a person who was not eligible for the additional point system or randomly supplying the remaining amount due to abandonment of the contract. One implementation company forged documents and won by falsifying documents as the winner of the subscription was not married and has six dependents even though he is the single head of household, but without checking the number of dependents, it classified as a lottery winner and signed a sales contract. In a field investigation by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, it was confirmed that 11 people were won at this site. Some winners have the same address and suspected family members have also been found. The Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs asked the police to investigate all of these fraudulent subscription winners and housing operators for violating the housing law, and requested measures such as administrative disposition from the competent local government. Illegal subscriptions are subject to imprisonment for not more than three years or a fine of not more than 30 million won, and if the profits obtained from the illegal subscription exceed 10 million won, a fine up to three times the penalty is imposed. In addition, the housing supply contract will be canceled and the applicant will be disqualified from applying for a subscription for the next 10 years. In the second half of last year, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport recently initiated an on-site inspection of illegal subscriptions and illegal supplies for 24 pre-sale complexes (5 metropolitan areas and 19 local areas). Due to the recent overheating phenomenon in the local real estate market, the intensity of crackdown on local subscription sites has been increased. Han Seong-soo, head of the Housing Fund Division, said, “We will take strict measures through active and regular crackdowns against fraudulent subscriptions that threaten the health of the housing market and reduce the chances of homeless end users who are desperate for a home.” yunhap news
