The case holding that the crime of breach of trust is constituted in case where the secured security holder of the security by means of transfer disposes of the secured real estate to a third party without going through the settlement procedure.
The case holding that, in case where a creditor has made a provisional registration of a real estate for the purpose of securing the obligation but failed to obtain the repayment by the due date, the principal registration of transfer of ownership has been made on the basis of the provisional registration, unless there is an express agreement between the victim and the victim that ownership of the real estate is finally attributed to the creditor if the victim fails to repay his obligation within the due date, such registration is a transfer of security within the so-called weak meaning requiring settlement procedures, and thus, the creditor's act of establishing a provisional registration of the real estate with respect to the third person

The number of days under detention prior to the pronouncement of the judgment below shall be 180 days including the penalty against Defendant 1.
The prosecutor's appeal against the defendant 1 is dismissed.
1. Summary of grounds for appeal;
A. Grounds for appeal by the Defendants
(1) misunderstanding of facts and misapprehension of legal principles
(A) As to the Defendants’ breach of trust
Despite the following reasons, among the facts charged in this case, the court below found the Defendants guilty of the facts charged in paragraph (1) of this case, and determined it as the crime of breach of trust under the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Economic Crimes. In so doing, the court below erred by misunderstanding the facts and misunderstanding the legal principles, and omitting the judgment.
① Defendant 1 did not intend to inflict damage on Nonindicted Party 1 by acquiring ownership of the instant real estate.
(2) In the case of revocation, etc. of fraudulent act by the injured party in Gwangju District Court 96 money19652, the injured party lost the benefit of time for the remainder of the obligation by failing to perform his obligation pursuant to the mediation clause in the case of revocation, etc. of fraudulent act, etc., and the due date arrives and Defendant 1 acquired the ownership of the instant real estate finally by completing principal registration for realization of the instant real estate. As such, the principal registration based on provisional registration in the name of Non-Indicted 2 of the above accused does not constitute a weak meaning of transfer, and thus
③ Defendant 1 sold the instant real estate at KRW 400 million, including the principal and interest of KRW 2.3 million, which he assumed against Defendant 2, in order to realize the instant real estate, as collateral, and the establishment of provisional registration was not established by the Defendants in collusion with the Defendants for the purpose of preventing Nonindicted Party 1 from returning the ownership of the instant real estate. Furthermore, due to the establishment of the above provisional registration, Defendant 1’s secured obligation against Defendant 1 with respect to Defendant 1 was reduced as the above purchase price and the remainder of Defendant 1’s secured obligation was non-mortgaged. Thus, Defendant 1 cannot be said to have obtained profits equivalent to the value of the instant real estate and caused damage equivalent to the same amount to the victim.
(4) Even if Defendant 1 disposes of the instant real estate to Defendant 2, and made a provisional registration with Defendant 2, constitutes a false declaration of conspiracy, it is invalid in relation to the victim, and it does not constitute a crime of breach of trust due to the lack of risk of issuing damages.
(5) The defendants make mistake that their actions do not constitute a crime under the law and there is a justifiable reason to believe that they do not constitute a mistake under the law as provided in Article 16 of the Criminal Act.
(B) As to Defendants’ attempted fraud
Of the facts charged in the instant case, despite the following reasons, the lower court found the Defendants guilty of attempted fraud under Paragraph 2 against the Defendants. In so doing, the lower court erred by misapprehending the legal doctrine and omitting judgment.
① Defendant 1, by misunderstanding the legal principles on the transfer of security by means of conciliation provisions, filed a lawsuit for transfer of land with the belief that ownership is acquired if the principal registration has been completed based on the provisional registration of Nonindicted 2 with respect to the instant real estate. Therefore, there was no perception that the court was deceiving
② Defendant 1 could seek delivery of the instant real estate to the victim in order to exercise the security right to the instant real estate. As such, Defendant 1 did not have any criminal intent to obtain possession gains of the instant real estate.
(3) The defendant's act does not constitute a constituent element of fraud and does not constitute illegality and constitutes a mistake of law under Article 16 of the Criminal Act.
(C) As to Defendant 1’s perjury
Although Defendant 1’s testimony is not only consistent with objective facts but also contrary to memory, the court below recognized Defendant’s testimony as perjury. The court below erred by misapprehending the legal principles on criminal intent of perjury and perjury.
(D) As to Defendant 2’s perjury
① On January 18, 200, the above defendant was aware of the fact that the procedure changed at the time of testimony at the Gwangju High Court's testimony was filed on July 26, 1991, and thus the contents of the defendant's testimony do not constitute a false representation contrary to his memory, and ② although there is no evidence to prove the facts charged as to the above defendant's perjury, the court below found the defendant guilty of the above defendant's perjury. In so doing, the court below erred by misunderstanding the facts and misunderstanding the legal principles.
(2) Unreasonable sentencing
Defendant 1’s failure to receive a claim from the victim, and considering other circumstances such as the motive and background of the instant crime, the Defendants’ previous convictions, and the relationship with the victim, the sentence imposed by the lower court against the Defendants is too unreasonable.
(c) Grounds for appeal by prosecutors;
(1) misunderstanding of facts
Although Defendant 1 was fully aware of the fact that the alteration of the loan certificate was not Nonindicted 1, the lower court, without reasonable grounds, rejected the statements of the witnesses corresponding to this part of the facts charged, and found Defendant 1 not guilty of this part of the facts charged, thereby violating the rules of evidence and leading them to a misunderstanding of the facts.
(2) Unreasonable sentencing
In light of the motive for the instant crime and the amount of damage, etc., the sentence of the lower court against Defendant 1 is too uneasible and unreasonable.
2. Determination:
A. Judgment on the misunderstanding of facts and misapprehension of legal principles by the Defendants
(1) As to the assertion that the acquisition of ownership by the principal registration does not constitute a crime of breach of trust
Where a creditor has made a provisional registration of a real estate for the purpose of securing a claim but failed to receive the repayment by the due date, and the principal registration of a transfer of ownership based on the provisional registration has been completed, unless there is any special agreement between the parties that the obligation ceases to exist if the debtor fails to repay the secured obligation at the due date, and that the ownership of the real estate is finally attributed to the creditor, such principal registration shall also be deemed to have been made for the purpose of securing a claim, and if the principal registration is made for the purpose of securing a claim, and even after the due date for the obligation expires, the debtor may at any time repay the obligation and request the creditor to cancel the principal registration based on the provisional registration and provisional registration before the creditor completes the settlement procedure by exercising the security right, even though the due date for the obligation expires, and if the secured party intends to dispose of the security at a reasonable price or take over the ownership of the real estate after the due date for the obligation becomes due, the secured claim shall not be deemed to have yet become extinct unless the principal and interest of the secured obligation is settled before the due date for repayment of the debtor.
(2) As to the assertion that Defendant 1 did not gain any benefit or incur any loss to the victim by making a provisional registration of the instant real estate granted to Defendant 2
In the case of the crime of breach of trust, the term "when property damage is inflicted on the property as well as on the case of causing the risk of property damage" includes not only the real loss but also the case of causing the risk of property damage. The creditor who received the registration of ownership transfer of real estate for the purpose of collateral security has a duty to restore the registration if the debtor performs his obligation before the procedure of settlement is completed. Thus, if Defendant 1 establishes a provisional registration against Defendant 2 without going through the procedure of settlement of the real estate in this case, it would result in the risk of actual damage equivalent to the value of the security and thus, the crime of breach of trust is established (see Supreme Court Decision 89Do1309, Nov. 28, 1989, etc.). Thus, the above assertion by the defendants is
(3) As to the assertion that the provisional registration of this case is invalid as a false declaration of conspiracy, and thus does not constitute a crime of breach
Since the act of breach of trust in the case of breach of trust is not required to be legally effective, even though the act of establishing provisional registration of the real estate of this case is null and void by law as a false declaration of conspiracy, it constitutes a crime of breach of trust in the case where the victim actually damages or the risk of causing property loss is caused, it constitutes a crime of breach of trust. Thus, the defendants' above assertion is without merit.
(4) As to the assertion of legal error
Even if the Defendants were to be mistaken that the Defendants’ act of breach of trust and attempted fraud did not constitute a crime under the laws and regulations, they cannot find any justifiable reason. Therefore, the Defendants’ assertion is without merit.
(5) The defendant's assertion that it was not a provisional registration made in the name of the defendant 2 with respect to the above real estate with the intention to prevent the defendant's non-indicted 1, etc. from returning the ownership of the pertinent real estate, the defendant 1 did not have the intent to inflict damage on the victim, and there was no awareness that the court was deceiving, and there was no criminal intent to obtain the possession profit of the instant real estate, and the defendants' act did not constitute a element of fraud
According to the evidence in the record, in light of the motive and circumstance of the instant crime and the circumstances before and after the instant crime, the Defendants were aware of the crime of breach of trust and the occurrence of damages at the time, and there was the awareness that the court is deceiving the land delivery lawsuit, and there was the criminal intent to acquire the possession profit of the instant real estate, and there is sufficient reason to acknowledge the Defendants guilty of the facts charged of the instant breach of trust and the litigation fraud. Therefore, the aforementioned assertion by the Defendants is not reasonable.
(6) As to Defendant 1 and Defendant 2’s perjury
According to the evidence in the record, it is sufficient to recognize the charge of perjury by the Defendants. Therefore, the Defendants’ above assertion is without merit.
B. Judgment on the prosecutor's assertion of mistake
