Judgment of the lower court

Seoul High Court, Seoul High Court, Seoul High Court, etc.

Reasons

According to the reasoning of the judgment of the court below ex officio, Defendant 1 imported bail, which is prohibited from import on May 21, 4293, intended to export bail, which is prohibited from export on May 30 of the same year, and Defendant 2 mediated the sale and purchase of bail, which is prohibited from import on June 9, 4293, and Defendant 3 mediated the sale and purchase of such bail on June 6 of the same year. However, according to the purport of the original judgment, the trial court can find that other provisions of law can be applied to the prosecutor's indictment which do not harm the identity of the prosecuted facts, and it cannot be applied to other provisions of law, which are prohibited from import and export, even if the identity of the accused is not harmed under the interest protection of the defendant, even if it does not infringe on other provisions of law, and thus, it is not clear that the court below erred by misapprehending the legal interest of Article 17 of the Customs Duties Act, which is prohibited from import and export since it does not constitute the prescribed purport of Article 10 of the same Act.
