The lower court found the Defendant guilty of the instant charges on the grounds indicated in its reasoning.

The judgment below

Examining the reasoning in light of the relevant legal principles and evidence duly admitted, the lower court did not err in its judgment by exceeding the bounds of the principle of free evaluation of evidence in violation of logical and empirical rules, or by misapprehending the legal doctrine on “the solicitation or arrangement concerning cases or affairs handled by public officials” under Article 111(1)

Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
