Defendant

All appeals filed by G and prosecutor are dismissed.

Reasons

1. Summary of grounds for appeal;

A. The first judgment on Defendant G’s Defendant G’s punishment (a fine of KRW 3 million, a surcharge of KRW 2.83 million) is too unreasonable.

B. Each of the punishments of the first and second original judgments against the Defendants by the public prosecutor (a fine of KRW 3 million, a fine of KRW 2.83 million, a surcharge of KRW 2.83 million, Defendant CG, H, I, and J: each fine of KRW 2 million, a surcharge of KRW 3.81 million, and a surcharge of KRW 3.81 million) is deemed unfair.

First, the first instance judgment determined the sentence against Defendant G, taking into account the health care of the sentencing of Defendant G, the sentencing conditions favorable or unfavorable to Defendant G, and other circumstances prescribed in Article 51 of the Criminal Act, and there is no special change in the sentencing conditions compared to the lower judgment, and Defendant G is difficult to take economic measures, such as granting exemption from bankruptcy around 2014.
