Considering that the act of contribution related to the election is likely to impair the fairness and transparency of the election and to interfere with the free decision-making of the voters, the Defendant’s criminal liability is not easy.

However, the defendant shows his wrongness, the value of food provided by the defendant is relatively large, the defendant's act does not seem to have a significant impact on the election, the defendant has no record of criminal punishment for the same kind of crime, and other sentencing conditions specified in the arguments of this case, including the defendant's age, character and conduct, environment, and circumstances after the crime, shall be determined as ordered by the sentence in consideration of all the sentencing conditions specified in the arguments of this case.
