Judgment on the Defendants and their defense counsel's assertion

1. As to the assertion that the contribution of political funds not provided for in the Political Funds Act is not a contribution of political funds

A. Summary of the argument

The Defendants remitted the funds received from the members of each of the instant labor unions to the accounts under the name of V political parties, but this does not constitute a contribution of political funds not stipulated in the Political Funds Act, since the members of the V political party who are the sponsor of the political party pay the party membership fee, which is a kind of political funds as provided by the Political Funds Act, as a party member under the Political Funds Act.

B. Determination

However, Article 23 of the Political Parties Act provides that anyone who wishes to become a party member shall submit the application form for joining the political party which has signed or sealed the political party (Paragraph 1), and that the political party shall decide whether to permit joining the party members after deliberation by the party members qualification examination agency, and enter it on the roster of party members (Paragraph 2), and that any person who is not registered on the roster of party members shall not be acknowledged as a party member (Paragraph 4). Furthermore, under the Political Parties Act, a party is a "voluntary organization of the people (Article 2)" aimed at participating in the formation of the political will of the people by promoting political arguments or policies responsible for the interests of the people and recommending or supporting the party members after the election of public officials. The legal nature of a political party is essentially an incorporated association. The Political Parties Act regulates only the "party member" as a member in response to the members of an incorporated association, and therefore, the term "party member" as provided for in the above Political Parties Act refers to an organization that has become a party member or a member of the political party itself, and its purpose and purpose should be determined as a party member.

Therefore, in light of the following circumstances confirmed by the evidence duly adopted and examined by this court (hereinafter referred to as "each evidence of this case"), it shall be examined whether members of each union of this case constitute party members as provided by the Political Parties Act in light of the following circumstances. Although the above members submitted an application for joining a support party and completed the procedure such as registration on the party members list, the support party is merely for the purpose of financial support to the political party, and as long as the rights and obligations to the political party, such as the right to vote and the right to be elected, are completely excluded from the beginning, it cannot be deemed as a party member as provided by the Political Parties Act. Thus, the above assertion cannot be accepted.

1) A V political party constitution is eligible to become a political party member under the Act and subordinate statutes for party members, agree to our party ideology and platform and policy, and any person participating in party activities may become a party member by taking prescribed procedures (Article 4(1)), while newly establishing a provision that "at the time of amendments to the party constitution on July 23, 2006, the party constitution may have a party member after the enactment of the party constitution (Article 4(2)). In the case of party members, the party constitution introduced the support party constitution system by newly establishing the provision that "The party members may have a party member at the time of amendments to the party constitution" (Article 4(2). In the case of party members, the party constitution and party regulations are in accordance with the party constitution and party rules, and various rights and obligations, such as the party constitution and party rules, are imposed (Article 5). In the case of the support party members, no provision on their rights and obligations, other than the above provision, has been provided for the party members in the case of the support party members.

However, among Chapter 2 (Party Members) of the above party constitution, the case of the deliberation on the amendment of the establishment of the support party system among the two (Party Members), "political party supporters' association is abolished, and the existing supporters' association is converted into the support party system.

In reality, although inducing members of a supporters' association may join the supporters' association, the first purpose of the supporters' association may be judged to be a certain financial support for the supporters' association, considering the reality, it is desirable to establish the "Supportive Party System" system in consideration of its reality so that it can continue to play a financial role for the supporters' association, and the head of the V political party AT also operates the "V party" system in which only the supporters' association is paid. However, even though it is impossible to collect the supporters' association fee from the supporters' association due to the abolition of the system of a political party's supporters' association, it is stated that the support party system was created for the purpose of collecting the supporters' association fee and processed all the existing supporters' association electronically as the support party. In light of the purpose of introducing the support party system, it is sufficient to say that not only the existing supporters' association but also the support party newly prepared has granted the rights and obligations as a real party member.

2) In addition, around October 2006, 2006, V. 100,000 won request for cooperation in the business of a branch, sub-branch, sub-branch, or sub-branch, etc. from the private labor union, and around October 2009, '2009, sent to a branch, sub-branch, or sub-branch under the metal labor union', the government merely provides information to the effect that 100,000 won should be paid in connection with the business of tax credit for the sponsoring party, and that it should be returned at the end of the year, and it does not appear that the government should be able to receive 10,000 won a tax credit for the support fund in the form of a tax credit of 209.10,000 won a more than 10,000 won a tax credit for the support fund, and it does not appear that the government should be able to receive 100,000 won a tax credit.

3) Furthermore, with respect to the procedure for joining the sponsor, AU, who was appointed by the Secretary General from August 20, 2008 to July 24, 2010 by the V political party, was registered as a member only once in the program for managing the members of the political party, and when a certain period of time has elapsed after the registration, submitted an application for joining the sponsor regardless of his/her will and paid the sponsor membership fee under the premise that he/she will resign from the political party. In addition, in the form of a tax credit for joining the sponsor, the term “I consent to resign from the sponsor after the payment of the membership fee,” and the term “I wish to leave the sponsor” in the form of a tax credit for joining the sponsor, and the term “I wish to leave the sponsor” in the case of a political party’s membership, and the term “I wish to temporarily leave the membership in the program for managing the members of the political party,” and the term “I wish to find out the fact that I will not separately collect the support fund from each political party’s candidate.

2. As to the assertion that there is no provision regarding punishment for those who paid support payments to supporters' associations similar organizations, etc.

A. Summary of the argument

According to Article 45(2)1 of the Political Funds Act, where a person who is not the person authorized to designate a supporters’ association establishes and operates a supporters’ association or other similar organization for the purpose of contributing political funds, only the person who establishes and operates the relevant organization shall be punished, and the person who contributed political funds shall not be punished. Since a political party, which cannot be the person authorized to designate a supporters’ association after the abolition of the system of a political party’s supporters’ association, establishes and operates a supporters’ association or similar organization in the form of a sponsoring party support organization, and receives support payments from the Defendants, the political party is only subject to the punishment prescribed in the above provision, and the Defendants who paid support money cannot be punished as a violation of the Political Funds Act under Article 45(1) of the Political Funds Act.

B. Determination

Although Article 45 (2) 1 of the Political Funds Act provides that "a person who is not the person entitled to designate a supporters' association and who establishes and operates a supporters' association or other similar organizations for the purpose of contributing political funds shall be punished by imprisonment with labor for not more than five years or by a fine not exceeding 10 million won." However, the defendants cannot be viewed as having established and operated a supporters' association or other similar organizations merely based on the fact that the defendants joined a V political party as a sponsor. Even if a V political party established and operated a supporters' association or other similar organizations, the defendants paid a support payment to the V political party, not the V political party, but the " supporters' association or other similar organizations established and operated by a political party, which is not the person entitled to designate a supporters' association," and thus, a support payment paid therefor does not constitute political funds provided for in the Political Funds Act. Therefore, insofar as the defendants' contribution of political funds is still in violation of Article 45 (1) of the Political Funds Act, the above assertion is rejected.

3. As to the assertion that no intention or illegality was recognized

A. Summary of the argument

The Defendants thought the members of each Trade Union in this case to pay the party membership fee lawfully as the genuine party members of the V party and received funds, and remitted them to the V party account. As such, the Defendants did not intend to violate Article 45(1) of the Political Funds Act or did not have any justifiable reason for mistake.

B. Determination

However, as seen earlier, the members of each of the instant unions joined the form of a sponsoring party in order to participate in the program for the tax credit of the sponsoring party, and the sponsoring party only for the purpose of financial support to the V political parties, and did not have various rights and obligations to political parties, such as the right to vote and the right to be elected, and as long as the Defendants were deemed to have fully aware of such facts, the Defendants’ assertion that the sponsoring party recognized the sponsoring party as a party member under the Political Parties Act cannot be viewed as a assertion of mistake of fact, and it can be deemed that the sponsoring party legally misleads that he/she constitutes a party member.

However, Article 16 of the Criminal Act provides that an act of misunderstanding that one's act does not constitute a crime under Acts and subordinate statutes shall not be punishable only when there are justifiable grounds for misunderstanding. However, it is generally accepted that his act constitutes a crime, but it does not constitute a crime permitted by Acts and subordinate statutes in his own special circumstances, and if there are justifiable grounds for misunderstanding, it shall not be punishable. Whether there exists justifiable grounds shall be determined depending on whether the act of misunderstanding is not aware of illegality as a result of misunderstanding, although it was possible to recognize illegality of his act if the act of misunderstanding was done with intellectual ability, and there was a chance to examine or inquire about the possibility of illegality of his act by misunderstanding or making a serious effort for avoiding it. The degree of efforts necessary for recognizing illegality should be determined differently depending on the situation of the act of misunderstanding, the ability of the actor to recognize an individual, and the social group to which the actor belongs.

Therefore, based on the above legal principles, I would like to examine whether there were justifiable grounds for the Defendants to believe that the Defendants constituted a genuine party member, and if V political parties pay party membership fees among the party members and separately manage the members who do not exercise political party rights, such as election rights and eligibility for election, under the name of sponsoring party members, then I would like to judge whether this is unlawful under the law. Whether to become a party member of the National Election Commission (hereinafter referred to as the "National Election Commission") with the content that the Defendants would make a decision according to their own will of free will, and the above president of the National Election Commission (hereinafter referred to as the "National Election Commission"). However, it is difficult to view that the Defendants made a reply to the purport that the Defendants were legitimate and reasonable grounds for the questioning of the premise of the above reply by the National Assembly members, and that the Defendants’ submission of the above questions to the purport that the Defendants’ submission of the above amendment of the Political Funds Act constitutes a legitimate one of the party members of the National Assembly is difficult. Moreover, it is difficult to see that the above amendment of the Political Funds Act was unlawful.

Reasons for sentencing

In the instant case where the sentencing guidelines are not separately provided, the Defendants, who are disadvantageous to the Defendants, took part in the entire process of raising, raising, and contributing illegal political funds by guiding the members of the V party support fund amount of 6 million won and less than 2,3210,000 won, which are the executives of each of the instant labor unions, and contributing funds to the V party. The legislative intent of the Political Fund Act, which aims to ensure the adequacy and transparency of political funds by committing the instant crime, and to contribute to the sound development of democratic politics, is significantly damaged.

However, on the other hand, the Defendants’ explanation that the scope of the subsidy program is legitimate from the V political parties or senior union members, and that it would have been difficult to clearly understand that the actual support fund system is in violation of the Political Funds Act, such as leading up to the instant crime, according to the participation guidelines, etc. In addition, since the crime itself was committed as part of the tax credit program at the end of the year, it is very kind of crime; Defendant B, D, and E did not have the criminal power exceeding the same kind or fine; and all other Defendants were the first offender, there are no favorable circumstances for the Defendants, such as each age, character, environment, health conditions, motive, means and consequence of the crime, and the circumstances after the crime, etc., and determine the punishment as above, taking into account all the sentencing conditions revealed in the trial process of the instant case, such as the following factors.

The contribution of the political fund of this case was made according to the voluntary will of each member of the Trade Union belonging to each of the Trade Union of this case, and the Defendants merely notified the members of the procedures for the contribution and delivered the funds to the members to the fifth party side, and it cannot be said that the funds related to the organization were contributed.

3. Determination

A. Article 31(2) of the Political Funds Act provides that “no person shall contribute any political fund with funds related to any domestic or foreign corporation or organization” refers to a fund which can be donated by a corporation or organization according to its decision-making, as it prevents any act detrimental to the exercise of sound political influence and the fairness of election. The term “funds related to a corporation or organization” refers to a fund which can be contributed by such corporation or organization, as well as its own assets which form the basis for the existence and activities of such corporation or organization, and also includes funds raised by such corporation or organization in its own name. In light of the language and purport of such provision, if a corporation or organization engages in the raising of funds for contribution, all of the funds should not be deemed to fall under “funds established by a corporation or organization” subject to donation as provided in Article 31(2) of the Political Funds Act, and where a corporation or organization actively participates in the raising, raising, and raising funds for contribution, it should be determined to the extent that the fund can be raised by a corporation or organization as a whole or in relation to the raising of funds.

B. Therefore, based on the above legal principles, the health team, first of all, as to whether the funds raised and raised from the members of each trade union of this case constitute funds related to the organization, according to the evidence of this case, the V political party established a plan, etc. for raising political funds through the tax credit program on or around July 2006, and decided on the specific details of the tax credit program by the V political party Central Committee. Meanwhile, according to the contents determined by the Central Committee of the above V political party, the CF adopted guidelines for the tax credit program for the sponsoring party, which requires the members to join the sponsor and participate in the tax credit program and participate in the tax credit program, and the post-V political party and the 50 business places formed together with the labor union, and some of the Defendants transferred the funds raised from the members of the relevant political party to the account under the name of the V political party and made the name of the remitter under the name of the relevant labor union.

However, comprehensively taking account of the following circumstances acknowledged by the evidence of this case, it is difficult to view that the Defendants, in raising funds from the members of each of the instant unions, were able to dispose of the funds raised and raised by the union by actively participating in the process of raising and raising funds from the union members of the instant union or at least the same time, and there is no clear evidence that the fund raised and raised by the union constitutes funds related to the organization.

1) The Defendants and other persons related to each of the instant labor union members including the Defendants discussed and resolved on the implementation of the project under the guidance for the tax credit program from the General Labor-Management Group or superior labor union, and publicize it to the relevant union members. This merely introduced the details of the project under the support fund program and explained the intent of individually consenting members to encourage them to participate in the project, and there was no entirely mentioning that the participation of the union members may be subject to certain disadvantages if they were to participate in or not participating in the project under the support fund program. In fact, 123 out of 2,200 of the total members of the Health and Medical Workers' Group, 120 among the 160 members, 108, 109, 00, 100, 00, 200, 20, 20, 80, 20, 20, 20, 80, 20, 20, 20, 80, 20, 20, 200, 5, 20, 5, 20.

2) In addition, Defendant A and D received contributions from the relevant union members to their personal account, other than the Trade Union and Labor Relations Adjustment Account, and entered the name of the relevant union members in the same way as Defendant A (related to remittance on December 29, 2009), D, E, F, and G in the case of remittance to the account under the name of the relevant political party. In light of the process of raising and conveying such contributions, it is difficult to deem that the Defendants raised the fund of Trade Union and Labor Relations with the funds received from the relevant union members, and rather, it is nothing more than merely a mere collection of contributions with the delegation from the union members seeking to participate in the tax credit program of V political parties, and again delivery of the funds to the V political party side. However, in the case of Defendant A (related to remittance on December 28, 2009), B, and C, only the name of the relevant union members in the name of the relevant political party to easily use the funds under the name of the relevant union members in the process of transferring the funds to the account under the name of the relevant political party.

3) Furthermore, all members of the Trade Union and Labor Relations Commission of this case contributed KRW 100,000 to V political parties personally owned funds, and received a tax credit of KRW 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 from 209 or 2010,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 won, which were previously paid to the members of the Trade Union and Labor Relations Association around early 2009 or 2010. However, in the case of this Trade Union and Labor Relations Association branch to which Defendant F belongs, there is room to view the amount of KRW 170,000,000,00,00,000 as 10,000,000,000,000,000,00,00 won, which were 100,000,000.

C. Thus, since the facts charged in this part of the facts charged constitute a case where there is no proof of crime, each of the defendants should be acquitted pursuant to the latter part of Article 325 of the Criminal Procedure Act. However, as long as the court found the defendant guilty of violating the Political Funds Act due to the illegal acceptance of each political fund in a mutually competitive relationship, the judgment of innocence shall not be rendered separately from the disposition

It is so decided as per Disposition for the above reasons.
