특정경제범죄가중처벌등에관한법률위반(사기)

Text

All appeals filed by the prosecutor against the Defendants are dismissed.

Reasons

misunderstanding of the substance of the grounds for appeal or misunderstanding of the legal principles, the Defendants initially ordered the J to perform the construction work equivalent to KRW 750 million for the construction work, which is equivalent to KRW 750,000,000,000 for the issuance of the new real estate trust as security (hereinafter “the right to benefit of this case”).

Afterward, while J borrowed KRW 300 million from the injured party to change the preferred profit-making person of the instant right to benefit in the name of the injured party, the instant right to benefit in the context of the injured party, however, not only the victim’s claim amounting to KRW 320 million (the above claim amounting to KRW 320 million) but also the remainder of the claim amount in excess of the above claim amount, the original J still guarantees the claim for the above contract payment amount. Therefore, the amount obtained by fraud of the instant crime should be deemed to be KRW 750 million.

Therefore, the court below erred by misapprehending the legal principles or by misapprehending the legal principles that limit the scope of the secured obligation of the right to benefit of this case to KRW 320 million, and found the defendant not guilty of the grounds for the excessive portion.

Sentencing of the lower court (one year of imprisonment for each of the Defendants, two years of suspended execution) is deemed to be too uncomfortable and unfair.
