Defendant A (1) misunderstanding of facts is used by Defendant A for use by H and lending KRW 500 million out of the victim company’s capital to H, and since the actual principal offender is H, the judgment of the court below which found Defendant A guilty of embezzlement is erroneous in the misapprehension of facts, thereby affecting the conclusion of the judgment.

(2) The sentence sentenced by the lower court of unreasonable sentencing (one year and six months of imprisonment) is too unreasonable.

B. The judgment of the court below which found Defendant B guilty of embezzlement even though Party B did not have the intent of illegal acquisition or the intent of embezzlement, was erroneous in the misapprehension of facts and affected the conclusion of the judgment.

(2) The sentence imposed by the lower court (one year and six months of imprisonment, two years of suspended execution) is too unreasonable.
