The judgment below

Examining the reasoning of the judgment of the first instance in light of the legal principles as well as the evidence duly admitted, and the record, the lower court is justifiable to have judged the Defendants not guilty of the charges of violating the Political Fund Act by violating the Political Fund Act and receiving political funds from Defendant A’s “R” on the grounds as indicated in its holding. In so doing, the lower court did not err by exceeding the bounds of free evaluation of evidence in violation of logical and empirical rules, or by misapprehending the legal doctrine on the “person who received a contribution of political funds” under Article 45(1) and (2) of the Political Fund Act, by exceeding the bounds of free evaluation of evidence against logical and empirical rules.

Therefore, all appeals are dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
