The Defendant merely borrowed 12 million won from J and does not accept it as a bribe, and in relation to the facts constituting the crime Paragraph 2, the Defendant was forced to sit in the NY on the job where L is in contact with J, and there is no relation or quid pro quo with the Defendant’s duties.

B. Prosecutor 1) misunderstanding of facts (Violation of the Political Funds Act). The judgment of the court below acquitted the Defendant as to the violation of each Political Funds Act on the ground that there is no evidence to acknowledge that each of the above amounts constitutes election expenses, on the grounds that the election expenses is obvious and that the remainder of 49 million won paid as election consulting costs or successful election expenses has the nature of comprehensive consideration for election campaign, and in light of the legislative intent of the Political Funds Act that provides the combined election expenses, it is reasonable to see that the above KRW 71 million is election expenses. Meanwhile, even though the amount of KRW 16 million paid through a non-reported account on February 19, 2010 should also be considered as election expenses on the same ground, it is reasonable to see that there is no evidence to acknowledge that each of the above amounts constitutes election expenses.
