The defendant's appeal is dismissed.

Reasons

1. The main point of the grounds for appeal is that the lower court’s punishment of a fine of nine million won is too unreasonable.

2. Although considering the fact that the defendant's perjury did not have any particular influence on the trial of the related case, the court below seems to have determined punishment by fully taking into account such circumstances. Perjury is a serious crime that causes confusion and incompetence in the judicial action of the State through deliberation to find the truth of the court, and it is necessary to strictly punish such crime. In addition, examining various sentencing conditions shown in the argument of this case, such as the defendant's age, character and conduct, environment, motive, means and consequence of the crime, etc., the punishment sentenced by the court below is reasonable.

3. In conclusion, the defendant's appeal is dismissed in accordance with Article 364 (4) of the Criminal Procedure Act since it is without merit. It is so decided as per Disposition.
