All appeals by the Defendants are dismissed.

Reasons

1. Summary of grounds for appeal;

A. As to Defendant B’s violation of the Act on the Control of Narcotics, Etc.

In addition, as to the violation of the Act on the Control of Narcotics, etc. (fence) due to the use of philophones on November 28, 2018, this is limited to the sole criminal conduct of Defendant A, and there is no fact that Defendant B conspired with Defendant A, and thus Defendant B does not constitute joint criminal conduct.

Nevertheless, the court below recognized that Defendant B committed each of the above crimes as a co-principal, and there is an error of misunderstanding of facts or misunderstanding of legal principles.

B. The lower court’s punishment (two years of imprisonment, confiscation, additional collection, and provisional payment order) against the Defendants on the assertion of unfair sentencing by the Defendants is excessively unreasonable.
