3. The instant crime committed by the Defendant, who is an employee of the NIS EF team, committed the instant crime in collusion with the executive officers of the NIS including J, and the employees of the E group, by supporting, praiseing, and opposing and slandering the president and the political parties belonging thereto, and by using the status as a public official prohibited under the Act on the National Intelligence Service and election campaign prohibited under the Public Official Election Act, and thereafter, conducted an election campaign by taking advantage of the status as a public official prohibited under the Public Official Election Act, and thereafter, given the above cyber activities at the judgment of K, etc. according to the organizational response of the NIS to reduce and abolish the above cyber activities. In addition, the legislative intent of the NIS Act to prevent the political intervention of the NIS staff of the NIS while the Defendant committed a separate penal provision was dismissed, and in light of the fact that the discovery of substantial truth for a considerable period of time in the trial by the Defendant’s above-mentioned evidence, the nature of the crime and the criminal intent are not somewhat weak.

However, there are extenuating circumstances, such as the fact that the Defendant, as a subordinate staff member under the direction of the head of the team and the head of the agency affiliated therewith, came to commit the instant crime in the course of passive implementation of the command system. In particular, the Defendant’s criminal act by Q activities appears to have been committed at the time of performance of duties at the time of the Defendant’s performance of duties, and the Defendant, for more than 30 years, has faithfully served in the NIS and retired from office after the instant case, and that there was no criminal record, and that there was no record of criminal punishment, and that there was no good health condition such as being hospitalized several times due to brain diseases, etc.

The acquittal portion

1. Summary of the facts charged

Of the facts charged in the instant case, the Defendant conspireds with K, L, M, and the NIS EF team employees, etc. in sequence, as described in Paragraph 1 of the same Article, and posted 361 cases of letters related to the election, as described in Paragraph 1 of the attached Table 3, from June 7, 2012 to December 14, 2012, and 430 cases of letters involved in political activities, such as Paragraph 1 and Paragraph 2 of the same Article, respectively, from February 4, 2012 to September 20, 2012.

2. Determination as to whether it constitutes an election campaign or political intervention

A. Relevant legal principles

In principle, individual acts constituting an inclusive crime should meet the elements of each crime. In a case where posting a letter through Q et al. constitutes a crime of violating the National Intelligence Service Act or a crime of violating the Public Official Election Act, whether each writing constitutes a political intervention or election campaign shall be determined by closely examining the comprehensive circumstances, such as the specific contents, context, etc. of each individual notice (see Supreme Court Decision 2013Do1513, Dec. 23, 2015).

(b) Criteria for determining whether an election campaign is an election campaign or political intervention.

(a) An election campaign;

A) Relevant legal principles

An election campaign refers to all acts that are advantageous to the purpose of promoting an election or defeat in the election of a specific candidate, which are necessary or favorable for the election or winning in the election (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2013Do4146, Jan. 23, 2014). Article 58(1) of the Public Official Election Act defines the concept of "election campaign" by using the criteria of "election" as the requirement for an election campaign. Thus, the concept of an election campaign is premised on the fact that it is an act for the election or defeat in the election of a candidate at least 'specific' or at least 'specific', and an act for the purpose of obtaining votes of a specific political party refers to an act for the election of a candidate recommended by the relevant political party as well as an act for the purpose of obtaining votes of a specific political party, but even in this case, a speech supporting a specific political party can meet the concept of an election campaign, but a specific political party can be decided by the Constitutional Court en banc Decision 2014Na514, May 204, 2014.

(B) Specific criteria

In light of the above legal principles, Twewewelgles and retwelgles posted by the Defendant (hereinafter “twelgles, etc.”) that are recognized as election campaigns in relation to the presidential election of the AOF, are limited to ① Timely, in the case of Twelgles, etc. supporting or opposing a specific candidate, after the date of the withdrawal declaration of the candidate for each presidential election indicated below, in the case of Twelgles, etc. supporting or opposing a specific political party after the date on which the candidate for the presidential election of each political party listed in the same table becomes final and conclusive, and ② the purpose of promoting the election or defeat of a specific candidate can be objectively recognized.

A person shall be appointed.

2) Political participation

A) Relevant statutes

Article 9(2) of the former National Intelligence Service Act provides that one of the acts involved in political activities refers to the act of disseminating opinions that support or oppose a specific political party or politician by taking advantage of his or her position, or her opinion or fact that praises or slanders a particular political party or politician for the purpose of forming such public opinion (Article 9(2)).

B) Criteria for determining each type

(1) If it is evident that the contents of Twelgle, such as Twelgle, which directly supports or oppose a particular political party or politician, are the intention of directly supporting or opposing the relevant political party or politician, it constitutes participation in political activities as a matter of course.

(2) Even if the main purpose or motive of this article is to cope with North Korea’s black propaganda or gaundation and gagrating behavior, such as twelgles that support and safeguard the current and present president, etc., if the objective contents led to support or opposition against a specific political party or politician, it can be deemed as an act of participating in political activities prohibited by the NISA. In particular, since the president concurrently holds the status as a accompanying of the government and the status as a politician, QW activities that support and advocate the current president should be deemed as an act of supporting the current and present president, a specific political party, or the president, and constitutes an act of participating in political activities.

(3) In the case of security issues, such as Twelves, etc., concerning security issues, the conflict between political parties and political forces may necessarily lead to a conflict of opinions. As such, Twelves, etc. on security issues cannot be deemed as immediately involved in political activities. However, if Twelves, etc. contain the contents supporting or opposing the position, policy, etc. of a specific political party or political party related to the matter in question, it is reasonable to regard such activities as engaging in political activities.

(4) It is difficult to see that the Superintendent of an Office of Education, such as Twitgles, is a political person (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2014Do3112, Jan. 14, 2016). The Twitgles, etc. to the effect that support or opposition a specific superintendent of education is not, in principle, an act involved in political activities. However, in cases where a specific political party’s opinion or opposition is subject to conflict of political opinions by clarifying the consent or opposition of the superintendent of education regarding educational policies, etc., the support or opposition to the superintendent of education may lead to support or opposition to a specific political party, and thus, it can

C. Determination on individual Twelves, etc.

In full view of the legal principles and the judgment criteria as seen earlier, it cannot be deemed that the posting of the above tweweweets, etc. is an election campaign because it is difficult to see the contents of the tweweets, etc. as being related to a specific political party or candidate, and it cannot be deemed that the posting of the above tweweets, etc. is an election campaign because it is difficult to see the contents of the tweweets, etc. listed in paragraph (2) of the same Article as supporting or opposing a specific political party or candidate.

3. Conclusion

Therefore, since this part of the facts charged constitutes a case where there is no proof of a crime, it should be pronounced not guilty under the latter part of Article 325 of the Criminal Procedure Act. However, inasmuch as it is found guilty of a violation of the National Intelligence Service Act and a violation of the Public Official Election Act, the sentence of innocence shall not be

It is so decided as per Disposition for the above reasons.

Judges Kim Young-ho

Judgment of the Prosecutor

Note tin

1) The facts charged and basic facts are identical to the facts charged and are not likely to substantially disadvantage the defendant’s exercise of his/her right to defense.

The specific facts are partially recognized differently from the facts charged.

2) = 35,766 - 13,644 -361.

3) = 69,288- (13,644 + 2,400) – (361 + 69).

4) Even if several false statements are made as witnesses with different dates for pleading at the same instance, after maintaining the effect of the first oath.

As long as testimony was made, perjury is constituted (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2006Do9463, Mar. 15, 2007).

5) Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 38 of the Criminal Act, Article 18(3) of the Public Official Election Act, the public official election act shall separately sentence a concurrent offender who commits an election crime and another crime.

The purport of this provision is to minimize the impact of other crimes, which are not an election criminal, on the sentencing of the election criminal.

Article 38 of the Criminal Code shall be excluded and sentenced separately, so other crimes in relation to an election criminal and an ordinary concurrent relationship shall be committed.

In accordance with Article 40 of the Criminal Code, the punishment for the most severe crime should be imposed, and in this case, the Public Official Election Act differs from the election crime.

In light of the legislative intent of handling and the amendment history of the provision, an election without asking whether the most severe crime punished is an election criminal;

Any crime in the ordinary concurrent relationship with the criminal shall be treated as an election criminal in total (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 9Do636, Apr. 23, 1999).

(ix) the Commission;

6) On February 23, 2012, the Defendant did not engage in Q activities, such as the facts charged, before being placed at AO Team, thereby requesting to reflect such activities in sentencing.

A prosecutor asserts that he/she did not participate in the case on June 8, 2018 by filing an application for changes in the indictment, but the prosecutor asserts that he/she did not participate in the case.

The prosecution was withdrawn on the part of the net side 1 to Q 1221 of the sight table (1).

7) Subparagraph 4 of the same paragraph is an act of participating in political activities, such as election campaigns for a particular political party or person or participating in election-related meetings.

Since the tweets, which are recognized as election campaign, are automatically involved in political activities.
