A Korean shaman who ran a fortune telling house in Gangnam has been arrested on fraud charges, Gangnam Police Station said Tuesday.
The shaman had allegedly convinced the clients to invest in a certain business and took about 10.4 billion won ($9.3 million) from 28 clients. Few of the victims felt suspicious of the suggestion and filed a complaint with the police in May, but the shaman had closed the fortune telling house.
The police caught the fortune teller in Busan last month.
The 49-year-old shaman had been well-known for accurate fortune telling, according to the police.
