Defendants are not guilty.

The summary of the judgment against the Defendants is published.

Reasons

1. Summary of the facts charged in this case

A. The defendants' identity

From August 1, 2007 to February 28, 2008, and from March 3, 2008 to August 1, 2010, Defendant B is the representative director of C (the first trade name was changed to D, but the trade name was changed to that of October 28, 2009; hereinafter referred to as “victim”) who is the victim and who performs the affairs of the Victim Company as the representative director.

Defendant A, along with the victim company on October 2007, removed the Flue House on the ground of Bupyeong-gu Incheon Metropolitan Government E (hereinafter referred to as “instant land”) where the structural construction was discontinued at around October 2007, and newly constructed one unit of “GG apartment on the scale of 17 apartment units” (hereinafter referred to as “instant apartment units”), which is the 8 household units of apartment units, and 12 residents of Flue Housing (hereinafter referred to as “members of this case”) including Defendant B’s wife H, who were the owner of the building at the time, was the owner of the instant apartment units, and completed the remaining construction on January 208 after acquiring all business rights, such as the ownership of the instant land and the building permit.

B. On October 207, 2007, the members of the instant case transferred all of the instant project rights, such as ownership and building permit, to the victim company that Defendant A and Defendant B was appointed as the representative director for the purpose of avoiding compulsory execution based on the construction cost of the existing construction business operator and completing the remaining construction work. Defendant A completed the said construction work and transferred the instant apartment unit to each of the instant members, and entered into a contract to cover the construction cost by selling the remainder or receiving payment in lieu of the instant apartment unit. The instant members and the Defendant A agreed to terminate and settle the instant apartment unit to be completed with the instant land and the instant apartment unit to be completed after the completion of the construction work after the completion of the construction work in order to secure the performance of the said contract. Accordingly, the victim trust secured the instant apartment unit, respectively. < Amended by Presidential Decree No. 20360, Feb. 1, 2008>

On the other hand, around February 2008, it was impossible for Defendant A to agree on the trust agreement with one of the beneficiaries of the above collateral trust agreement against J, one of the beneficiaries of the above collateral trust agreement, making it difficult for Defendant A to dispose of the apartment of this case and recover the construction price. The land of this case and the apartment of this case are to be sold through public auction in accordance with the contents of the trust property disposal method in the collateral trust agreement.

The Defendants received a false payment order to the effect that Defendant A has a claim for the construction cost of KRW 3.5 billion against the instant apartment and the instant land to be referred to the public auction procedure conducted by the Defendants, based on which Defendant A had the right to retention in the public auction procedure, and subsequently Defendant A conspired to receive the successful bid. Defendant A applied for the payment order to the Seoul Central District Court for the payment of KRW 3.5 billion against the victim company around December 5, 2008 (hereinafter “instant payment order”). Defendant B entered the address to be served as the victim company’s principal office in the Defendant B’s residence rather than the location of the victim company, and Defendant B received the payment order of KRW 20091 from the Seoul Central District Court on January 5, 2009, and the victim company knew that the Defendant did not have the obligation to pay the construction cost of KRW 3.5 billion to the Defendant Company A without raising any objection thereto, but it became final and conclusive on January 20, 2009.

As a result, the Defendants recruited the Defendants, and Defendant B did not comply with the representative director’s duty, acquired the financial benefits equivalent to KRW 3.5 billion, which is the amount of the finalized payment order, and suffered damages equivalent to the same amount in the victim company.

(d) Interference with bidding;

Defendant A, according to the above public offering with Defendant B, had been exercising a lien of KRW 3.5 billion with respect to the false construction price claim on the instant apartment constructed on the instant land from January 2009, Defendant A reported a lien in the public auction procedure with respect to the instant apartment that was in progress on January 12, 2009, and exercised a lien until K Co., Ltd received the final bid for the instant land and the instant apartment.

As a result, the Defendants conspired in collusion to impair the fairness of bidding by deceptive means.

2. Summary of the Defendants and the defense counsel’s assertion

A. Defendant A

1) Opinion on the charge of violating the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Economic Crimes (Misappropriation)

1. The Victim A shall be guaranteed the claim for the construction cost of the Defendant A around November 2007.

The contract for the construction work of KRW 3.5 billion (hereinafter referred to as the "contract for the construction work of this case") was entered into with the private company and applied for the payment order of this case to the court on the basis of the contract for the construction work of this case. Defendant A did not have conspired with Defendant B as to the objection against the payment order of this case, and there was no intention of occupational breach of trust.

② Even if Defendant A’s act of entering into the instant construction contract with the victim company, the representative director, and subsequently filing an application with the court for the instant payment order, constitutes occupational breach of trust, it shall be deemed that Defendant A had already committed occupational breach of trust on or around November 2007, when the said construction contract was entered into with the victim company. The crime of occupational breach of trust is not established when the instant payment order became final and conclusive.

2) As to the charges of interference with bidding

Since from around 2007, Defendant A had lawfully exercised the right of retention with regard to the claim for the construction cost of the apartment in this case as the secured claim, Defendant A could not be deemed to have interfered with the tender through fraudulent means by exercising a false lien, or Defendant A cannot be deemed to have had intention to interfere with the tender.

B. Defendant B

1) Opinion on the charge of violating the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Economic Crimes (Misappropriation)

① Members of the instant apartment building, the initial owner of the instant apartment building, transferred all the project rights, such as the ownership of the instant land and the building permit, to Defendant A and the victim company. Even if Defendant B did not raise an objection to the instant payment order as the representative director of the victim company, the intent of breach of trust cannot be deemed to exist, and if the instant construction contract and the payment order were invalid as a false declaration of conspiracy as indicated in the facts charged, it cannot be deemed that there was a risk of property damage to the victim

② A prosecutor instituted a public prosecution after the ten-year statute of limitations has expired from November 2007 upon which the instant construction contract was concluded. It is unreasonable to institute a public prosecution on the grounds that the instant payment order issued based on the said construction contract was final and conclusive as a separate occupational breach of trust.

2) As to the charges of interference with bidding

Defendant B had never participated in the exercise of the right of retention by Defendant A.

Defendant B did not raise an objection despite being served with the instant payment order at his own residence on January 5, 2009, and the said payment order became final and conclusive around January 20, 2009 (Evidence 1, Title 185 through 189 of the Evidence Records).

4) Results of civil litigation related to the above reconstruction project

A) Y, a creditor of the instant association members, filed a lawsuit against the instant association members on November 5, 2007 against the instant association members on behalf of the instant association members, claiming for the cancellation of the registration of transfer of ownership and the registration of cancellation of ownership preservation on the instant apartment on February 1, 2008 on shares in ownership of the instant land. The court of first instance (Seoul Central District Court 2013Gahap48796) rendered a favorable judgment on May 29, 2014 when it rendered a judgment in favor of the Plaintiff on May 29, 2014, the instant sales contract and the change of the name of the owner between the instant association members and the instant association members, which were concluded between the instant association members, were in collusion with the instant association members in order to avoid compulsory execution from the creditors, and thus, each of the above contracts was invalid as a false declaration in collusion with the victim company (Article 3 rights 508 to 554 of the evidence record).

B) During the public sale of I, the Z and AA, who acquired the ownership of the instant land and the instant apartment, filed a lawsuit against the Defendant A against the Defendant for removal of the container installed by the Defendant A and for delivery of the instant apartment, and the instant land and the instant apartment. The first instance court (Seoul Central District Court 2015Gahap54857) decided on May 25, 2016 that the instant payment order became final and conclusive, it is difficult to deem that Defendant A has a claim for construction cost of KRW 3.5 billion against the Defendant, and that Defendant A’s claim for construction cost due to the actual construction was extinguished in full by payment, and rendered a favorable judgment of the Plaintiff (Evidence No. 450 to 184 of the Evidence Record No. 150 to 184 of the Evidence Record), and thereafter Defendant A’s appeal was dismissed, but the final and conclusive judgment became final and conclusive as it became final and conclusive (Evidence No. 4236 through 581 of the evidence record).

C) The victim company filed a lawsuit of demurrer against the defendant A seeking non-performance of compulsory execution based on the instant payment order. On August 25, 2016, the first instance court (Seoul Central District Court 2015 Gohap549415) declared the plaintiff's winning judgment in collusion with the defendant A for the purpose of evading compulsory execution of the members of the instant case and preserving the defendant A's claim for the construction payment against the members of the instant case without the victim company's intent to substantially bear the obligation for the construction payment. Thus, the contract for the construction of the instant case is deemed to have been concluded in collusion with the defendant A without the victim company's intent to assume the obligation for the payment of the construction payment, and thus the judgment became final and conclusive upon the issuance of the rejection order of the petition of appeal.

B. Judgment on the charge of violation of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Economic Crimes (Misappropriation) (hereafter in this paragraph, referred to as "the charge" in this part)

1) Whether Defendant B’s failure to file an objection to the instant payment order constitutes occupational breach of trust

The crime of occupational breach of trust is established when a person who administers another’s business obtains pecuniary advantage or causes a third party to obtain such pecuniary advantage through an act in violation of one’s duty, thereby causing loss to the principal. The term “act in violation of one’s duty” refers to any act in violation of a fiduciary relationship with the principal by failing to perform an act that is naturally expected under the provisions of law, the content of the contract, or the good faith principle, or by performing an act that is expected not to perform an act that is naturally expected not to perform (see Supreme Court Decision 2009Da8244, Mar. 11, 2010).

In light of the aforementioned legal principles, the facts charged are as examined in the facts acknowledged earlier, as follows: (a) Defendant A filed an application for the instant payment order with the court; (b) Defendant B, the representative director of the victim company, was served with the instant payment order, and thus, the instant payment order became final and conclusive as it was due to the failure to file an objection; (c) however, in full view of the following facts and circumstances acknowledged by the prosecutor and Defendant A’s evidence submitted by the defense counsel, the sole evidence submitted by the prosecutor alone is insufficient to acknowledge that the Defendants’ above acts constitute occupational breach of trust against the victim company.

① Defendant B stated to the effect that “Defendant A acquires the victim company at an investigative agency as the representative director of the victim company,” and that the victim company was the representative director of the victim company at the request of Defendant A, and that the victim company was appointed as the representative director of the victim company at the request of Defendant A. In addition, the victim company’s representative director at the victim company (“Defendant A”) also determined KRW 3.5 billion as construction cost including all existing construction cost, litigation cost, etc. (Evidence No. 2, No. 10, No. 11), and that this court stated to the same effect (Article 7 of the witness B’s examination record). However, Article 3 of the Construction Contract Agreement provides that “Defendant A shall be entitled to the payment of construction cost from the victim company at the expense of Defendant A’s association members and the owner of the apartment company’s liabilities and the contents of the contract shall be referred to as “the previous owner’s liabilities and the contents of the contract of this case before the completion of the construction contract,” instead of setting the amount of construction cost to be paid from the victim company.

② ① 이 사건 아파트와 관련한 각 계약들이 체결된 경위를 전체적으로 살펴보면, 이 사건 공사도급계약은 다른 계약들과 별개로 체결된 것이 아니라 이 사건 사업권 양도계약과 이를 기초로 한 이 사건 매매계약 및 건축주명의변경계약 등의 계약을 체결하는 과정에서 그 무렵 함께 체결된 것으로 보이는 점, ㉡ 피해자 회사는 이 사건 매매계약 및 건축주명의변경계약에 따라 2007. 11. 5.경 이 사건 토지에 관하여 각 지분소유권이전등기를 마치고 2008. 2. 1.경 그 무렵 완공된 이 사건 아파트에 관하여도 건축주로서 소유권보존등기를 마쳤던 점, Ⓒ 2007년경 당시 이 사건 토지의 공시지가는 약 4억 5,972만 원(634.1m x 2007년경 개별공시지가 725,000원/m²)이었고, 이 사건 아파트의 시가가 37억 7,200만 원으로 감정되기도 한 점(증거기록 제3권 제523면), @ 피해자 회사 명의의 위 각 지분소유권이전등기 및 소유권보존등기와 동시에 각각 이 사건 토지 및 아파트가 I에 담보신탁되기는 하였으나, 피고인들은 당초 의 공매가 아니라 신탁해지를 하여 피해자 회사로 하여금 소유권을 다시 회복하도록 한 후 이 사건 아파트 중 일부 세대를 분양할 계획이었던 것으로 보이는 점(이 사건 각 부동산담 보신탁계약의 공동 제2순위 신탁원본 수익자 중 1명인 J이 신탁해지에 동의하지 않음에 따라 당초 계획과는 달리 위 각 부동산담보신탁계약이 해지되지 못한 것으로 보인다. 피고인 A의 변호인이 제출한 증 제6호증), ① 이 사건 토지 및 아파트에 관한 각 부동산담보신탁계약에서 U 등 10명 명의로 설정된 공동 제2순위 신탁원본 수익에 관한 권리(수익권리금 : 35억 원)는 실질적으로 이 사건 사업권 양도계약, 이 사건 합의의 내용에서도 확인되는 바와 같이 이 사건 조합원들이 ㈜Q, L, P, M 등과 사이의 법률관계에 따라 부담하거나 부담하게 될지도 모르는 각종 채무를 피고인 A이 자기 부담으로 정산하거나 해결하는 것을 전제로 소송비용을 포함하여 그에 소요되는 금액과 피고인 A 자신이 실제로 공사한 금액까지 모두 고려하여 산정한 액수인 35억 원 상당을 피고인 A이 회수할 수 있도록 하기 위하여 이를 피고인 A의 공사대금채권 명목으로 인정하기로 하고, 그에 따라 피고인 A의 위와 같이 정산금채권의 실질을 갖는 명목상 공사대금채권의 지급을 담보하기 위한 것으로 보이는 점, ① 이와 같은 처리방식은 당초 이 사건 조합원들이 피해자 회사에 이 사건 아파트 재건축사업 및 이 사건 토지에 관한 권리를 모두 이전해 준 취지에도 부합하는 점 등을 고려하면, 경제적 관점에서 볼 때에도 피해자 회사가 이 사건 공사도급계약으로 인하여 아무런 대가 없이 일방적으로 채무만을 부담한다고 평가하기는 어렵다.

2) Whether the Defendants had the intent to commit occupational breach of trust

In order to establish the crime of occupational breach of trust, the perception and consequence of the act of occupational breach of trust requires the perception that one or a third party acquires his or her benefit and causes damage to himself or herself. In other words, where the accused denies the criminal intent of the crime of occupational breach of trust, the subjective element of the crime of occupational breach of trust in light of the nature of the object is bound to prove by the method of proving indirect facts having considerable relevance with the intention, and what constitutes indirect facts should be reasonably determined by the method of strict observation or analysis based on normal empirical rule (see Supreme Court Decision 2008Do9066, Jul. 15, 2010). The burden of proving the criminal fact prosecuted in the criminal trial lies in the prosecutor’s burden of proving the criminal fact, and the conviction in the criminal trial ought to be based on evidence with probative value that the judge has no reasonable doubt, so if the prosecutor’s proof is insufficient to establish the crime of occupational breach of trust, and the evidence submitted by the prosecutor or the defendant is insufficient to establish the crime of occupational breach of trust.

① Defendant B stated to the effect that “The grounds for not raising an objection against the instant order for payment was based on the documents prepared by the Plaintiff (the instant order for payment).” However, Defendant B, as one of the members of the instant case, was aware of the fact that the instant order for the execution of the instant apartment reconstruction project on April 207, when it was actually carried out by the instant association members, it was difficult to readily conclude that Defendant B was in a position to acquire economic benefits with Defendant A due to the conclusion of the instant order for the instant order for payment. It was difficult to conclude that Defendant B was in a position of being aware of the fact that the instant order for the execution of the instant order for the transfer of ownership, which was concluded by the Defendants A and the instant order for the execution of the instant construction project on behalf of the instant association members, and that there was no possibility that the instant order for the transfer of ownership, which was concluded in accordance with the instant order for the execution of the instant construction project, was invalid after the conclusion of each of the instant order for sale of ownership, in light of the fact that each of the instant contracts was concluded ex post facto.

② On the other hand, Defendant A stated in this court that Defendant B sent the place of delivery of the instant payment order to Defendant B as the representative director of the victim company because Defendant B had responsibility and authority for the instant apartment reconstruction project as the representative director of the victim company. A certified judicial scrivener stated to the effect that he was aware that Defendant B had a telephone sent to Defendant B (the witness witness witness’s record page No. 13), and Defendant B also stated to the effect that “At the time of this court, he did not work almost at the victim company’s office, he would inform the certified judicial scrivener of the place of delivery (the witness witness’s record record page No. 32).” According to the written contract as of March 20, 2008, Defendant B could have been entitled to represent the victim company in relation to the instant apartment reconstruction project, and Defendant B could not immediately have the right to represent the victim company in relation to the instant apartment reconstruction project, and Defendant B may not immediately concluded the instant order with Defendant B’s first right to request the payment of construction expenses and evidence to the effect that Defendant B made Defendant B’s statement and evidence No. 4.

3) Whether property damage was inflicted on the victim company

In the crime of breach of trust, "when property damage is inflicted" includes not only a case where a real loss is inflicted but also a case where a risk of actual loss of property has been caused. However, if the risk of such loss has not been caused, the crime of breach of trust is not established, and accordingly, if a representative of the corporation has no legal effect, it cannot be said that there has been any loss or risk to occur to the corporation, unless there are special circumstances (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2010Do6490, Sept. 30, 2010).

In light of the above legal principles, considering the following facts and circumstances acknowledged by the evidence submitted by the Prosecutor and the Defendant’s defense counsel, even if the instant contract for construction work concluded between the Defendant A and the Victim Company is legally null and void as a false representation in consultation, it is difficult to readily conclude that the instant payment order was final and conclusive, thereby causing the risk of actual damage or property damage to the Victim Company.

① The facts that the instant payment order has become final and conclusive are as seen earlier. However, in the case of the final and conclusive payment order, Article 56 of the Civil Execution Act does not apply to the lawsuit of demurrer based on the time limit of res judicata. As such, the grounds for failure or invalidation, etc. occurred prior to the issuance of the payment order can be asserted in the lawsuit of objection against the said payment order (see Articles 58(3) and 44(2) of the Civil Execution Act). The burden of proof as to the grounds for objection in the lawsuit of objection should be in accordance with the principle of allocation of burden of proof in general civil procedure (see Supreme Court Decision 2010Da12852, Jun. 24, 2010). In view of the fact that, in the case of the final and conclusive payment order, a notary public is bound to have no executory power in the process of executing a notarial deed, and thus, the same is invalid in view of the fact that there is no legally binding power in the process of executing a notarial deed that is an executory act of the victim.

② Defendant A consistently made a statement to the effect that “I had no idea of compulsory execution against the victim company” in the investigative agency and this court (Evidence No. 4, No. 340 of the evidence record, and No. 3 of the witness examination record). In fact, Defendant A did not attempt to enforce compulsory execution against the victim company’s property by disposing of the claim against Defendant A from January 20, 2009 to August 25, 2016, which was lost by the victim company’s objection suit filed by the victim company against Defendant A (Evidence No. 4, No. 337 of the record) with the title of execution of the instant payment order (Evidence No. 4, the record No. 337 of the record), and there is no evidence to deem that the disposal of the claim for construction price under the instant construction contract, such as transfer of the claim to others.

③ The actual owner of the victim company asserts to the effect that the Defendants did not pay taxes, etc. imposed on the victim company regarding the transfer of ownership of the instant land and apartment complex, thereby causing property damage. However, the aforementioned damage claimed by W is not included in the property damage of this part of the facts charged charged by the prosecutor, and even if the Defendants did not pay taxes, etc. imposed on the victim company unlike the agreement with W, such damage is merely merely a non-performance of obligations under the agreement and cannot be deemed as a property damage arising from the confirmation of the instant payment order.

4) Sub-committee

Ultimately, the evidence presented by the prosecutor alone cannot be deemed to have proved this part of the facts charged against the Defendants to the extent that the judge would not have any reasonable doubt.In this paragraph, the judgment on the facts charged for interference with bidding (hereinafter referred to as the "fact-finding charge") is made.

In the relevant civil case, it is difficult to recognize that the claim for the construction cost of the above 3.5 billion won against the victim company A exists, and it can be recognized that the judgment rejecting the defendant A's right of retention defense has become final and conclusive on the ground that the construction cost of the portion actually executed by the defendant A was fully paid. However, as seen earlier, the judgment in the civil case related to the criminal trial is subject to

Even if the facts determined are valuable evidence to prove the facts charged, the criminal court does not necessarily have to be bound by the confirmation of the civil judgment resolution, and therefore, can find facts different from the facts established in the civil judgment by evidence. In full view of the following facts and circumstances acknowledged by the evidence submitted by the prosecutor and the defense counsel, it is difficult to readily conclude that the prosecutor’s evidence alone submitted by the prosecutor had the intent to obstruct the tender through the exercise of false lien. Thus, this part of the facts charged against the Defendants cannot be deemed to have been proven to the extent that there is no reasonable doubt by the judge.

① In light of the contents of the instant contract for construction works and the content of the instant contract for construction works, it appears that the instant association members had a considerable portion of the construction cost not paid to the construction business operator at the time of November 2007, when the instant contract for construction works was concluded and the instant association members had a dispute over the construction cost payment between the instant association members and the construction business operator.

② In the event of the occurrence of the dispute over the construction cost as above, Defendant A entered into the instant contract for the transfer of business rights on the condition that the remaining construction work of the instant apartment and the settlement of the legal dispute between the instant members, and entered into the instant agreement and the instant contract for construction works with the victim company.

However, in light of the fact that Defendant A was responsible for the remaining construction of the instant apartment and agreed to receive the construction cost, including the part previously executed by another construction business operator while entering into the construction contract with the owner of the building, there is no ground to deem that Defendant A already agreed to be exempted from the instant association members in the instant business right transfer contract, the instant agreement, and the instant construction contract, etc., as seen above, Defendant A and the victim company, while entering into the instant construction contract, cannot be deemed to be unfair to have determined to be paid KRW 3.5 billion under the pretext of the construction cost instead of entirely resolving legal disputes related to the instant apartment.

③ Defendant A completed the instant apartment construction by performing the aforementioned construction work in accordance with the agreement on the transfer of the instant apartment right and the construction contract. Defendant A, as a matter of principle, appears to have been granted a lien on the remaining claims for the construction work of the instant apartment. Moreover, even if the agreement on the transfer of the instant construction contract has no legal effect as a false declaration on agreement between Defendant A and the victim, Defendant B actively participated in the instant apartment contract as one husband among the instant members, so it is difficult for the instant members to readily conclude that the instant agreement on the payment of construction work price was in accord with the intention of the instant members, and rather, Defendant A’s agreement on the payment of construction price was difficult to conclude that the instant apartment construction cost was in accord with the intention of the instant members, even if the purpose of the instant agreement on the sale of the instant apartment to the effect that the instant apartment construction contract was concluded after the date of the instant agreement, and that the instant agreement on the payment of construction price was not concluded by the Plaintiff at least 1,000,000,000 won.

⑤ Meanwhile, in this court, Defendant B stated to the effect that “the construction was carried out while exercising the right of retention from July 2007, when the construction was interrupted due to Defendant A’s failure to receive the construction cost (as witness B, the record book of examination of witness B), Defendant A, the victim company, and one household among the apartment buildings of this case, stated that “Defendant A exercises the right of retention as a construction contractor from January 2008 to February 201, 207 regarding the construction cost” (Evidence No. 451 to 498 of the evidence record), and regardless of the payment order of this case, Defendant B had been exercising the right of retention by using the claim for the construction cost of the apartment of this case as the secured claim.

4. Conclusion

Therefore, since all facts charged against the Defendants constitute a case where there is no proof of crime, each of the defendants is acquitted under the latter part of Article 325 of the Criminal Procedure Act, and the summary of the judgment is publicly announced under Article 58(2) of the Criminal Act. It is so decided as per Disposition.

The Specific Economic Crimes Act (hereinafter referred to as the "Special Economic Crimes Act") shall be aggravated on the ground that the company A suffered property loss by preparing a notarial deed for consumption and a promissory note

In a case where a criminal defendant was prosecuted for violating the Punishment, etc. Act (amended by Act No. 11304, Feb. 10, 2012); the criminal defendant’s act

An act of abusing the power of representation by the other party is fair in order for the defendant to gain his own interest or a third party's interest regardless of the interests of Gap company

Since he knew or could sufficiently know that he or she prepared a deed, all of them are null and void, thereby causing property damage to the Company A.
