A South Korean visitor to Australia accused of stealing $360,000 from an 89-year-old Canberra woman is freed on bail despite concerns from police that he will try to flee the country after being arrested at Sydney Airport last month.

A South Korean visitor to Australia has been freed on bail despite concerns from ACT police that he will try to flee the country while facing 27 charges of fraud.

Mr Cho today applied for bail for a second time in the ACT Magistrates Court, where his lawyer revealed his client had handed the money back to police. But Mr Berg argued his client was given permission by the woman to invest the money and had not taken it without her consent.

Anyone who can make it to Korea in one of those light aircraft must be devilishly clever.

Look how this guys name is plastered every where unlike Brendan Moran right?

By the way Brendan Moran the Bondi rapist... Got off.. Thanks to his Bar buddies it's not only hushed up, but full corrupt too. Next Coke party at Elphis Anthony Mason Chambers. Bring some rape with you. No problem if you're set in the system.

Obviously granting bail will ensure that Australia will not have to carry the cost of incarceration and a trial.

Fun game of ‘spot the fourth light aircraft’ 👀
