Defendant A’s assertion 1) misunderstanding of facts or misunderstanding of legal principles did not receive a total of KRW 32,954,225 from Defendant C as a bribe on November 2008, since the part which can be evaluated as a bribe is limited to the financial profit equivalent to the above money, it is unreasonable for the lower court to evaluate the entire amount of the above money as a bribe and apply the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Crimes. (2) The lower court’s sentence of unfair sentencing (a fine of three years, a fine of KRW 13,00,000, a surcharge of KRW 45,954,225) is too unreasonable.
