Meanwhile, the crime of credit injury under the Criminal Act requires that a person’s credit should be damaged by spreading false facts or by fraudulent means, and the dissemination of false facts here means spreading the past or present facts that do not conform with the objective truth, and thus expressing the defendant’s simple opinion or value judgment.
