Nevertheless, the lower court found the Defendant guilty of this part of the facts charged by misapprehending the legal doctrine or misapprehending the legal doctrine.

In addition, the defendant filed a complaint against M with embezzlement and theft, Songpa-gu Seoul Metropolitan Government AC apartment 503 Dong 402 (hereinafter "the apartment of this case").
