(브레이크뉴스 경기동북부)하인규 기자=경기도는 지난해 1월부터 12월까지 전세사기에 가담한 공인중개사사무소 41곳을 집중 수사해 공인중개사 54명, 중개보조원 45명 등 ‘공인중개사법’ 위반으로 총 99명을 검찰에 송치 완료했다고 6일 밝혔다.

경기도는 전세피해지원센터에 접수된 피해 신고내역을 분석하고 수사한 결과 수원시를 비롯한 6개 시 41개 업소의 불법행위를 적발했다. 적발된 공인중개사들은 중개보수를 중개보조원들과 일정비율로 배분해 사실상의 중개업무를 하게 하는 불법행위를 저질렀다. 2021년부터 2023년까지 644건을 중개하면서 법정 중개보수 외에 약 5억 5천만 원의 부당이득을 챙긴 것으로 드러났다.

주요 적발사례를 살펴보면 ▲주택관리 명목으로 초과 중개보수를 받는 행위 ▲임대가 어려운 매물 위주로 중개한 후 초과 중개보수를 받는 행위 ▲중개보조원이 공인중개사 명의를 대여하여 불법중개를 하는 행위 ▲일부 층에만 공동담보로 근저당이 설정된 물건을 전체에 설정된 것처럼 허위 설명 행위 등이다.

손임성 경기도 도시주택실장은 “앞으로 모든 수사 역량을 동원해 전세사기에 가담한 공인중개사와 중개보조원의 불법 중개행위에 대해 철저히 조사하고, 강력한 처벌이 이뤄지도록 하겠다”라며 “공인중개사의 불법행위 근절과 동시에 전세사기 예방에 최선을 다 할 것”이라고 말했다.

한편 도 토지정보과는 토지거래허가구역 내 토지 취득을 위해 부정한 방법으로 허가를 받는 등 부동산 불법 투기행위에 대해서도 고강도로 수사를 추진할 것이며, 그 결과는 올 상반기 중 언론 발표를 할 예정이라고 밝혔다.

Gyeonggi Province analyzed and investigated damage reports received by the Jeonse Damage Support Center and discovered illegal activities at 41 establishments in 6 cities, including Suwon City. The licensed real estate agents who were caught committed illegal acts by distributing the brokerage fees to the brokerage assistants at a certain ratio and having them perform de facto brokerage work. It was revealed that they received about 550 million won in illicit profits in addition to the statutory brokerage fees while brokering 644 cases from 2021 to 2023.

The major cases of detection include ▲Acts of receiving excessive brokerage fees in the name of housing management ▲Acts of receiving excessive brokerage fees after brokering properties that are difficult to rent ▲Acts of brokerage assistants lending the name of licensed real estate agents to illegally broker ▲Acts of falsely explaining that a property with a joint collateral mortgage on only some floors is set as the entire property.

Son Im-seong, the head of the Gyeonggi Province Urban Housing Bureau, said, “We will mobilize all investigative capabilities to thoroughly investigate the illegal brokerage activities of licensed real estate agents and brokerage assistants involved in jeonse fraud and ensure that they are severely punished,” adding, “We will do our best to eradicate illegal activities by licensed real estate agents and prevent jeonse fraud.” Meanwhile, the provincial Land Information Division announced that it will conduct high-intensity investigations into illegal real estate speculation activities, such as obtaining permits through unfair means to acquire land within land transaction permit zones, and that the results will be announced to the press in the first half of this year.
