Punishment of the crime

Around 19:00 on October 27, 2010, the Defendant was paid KRW 300,000 as an “regular audit expense” to the victim F, the chairperson of the above apartment unit, who was the chairperson of the council of occupants’ representatives in Gyeyang-si, Yangsan-si, the Defendant, as the auditor of the above apartment unit on June 10, 2008, received KRW 30,000,000 as the “regular audit expense” on December 22, 2008, and KRW 30,000 as the “regular audit expense” on December 24, 2009. However, the Defendant publicly damaged the victim’s reputation by publicly stating that “The victim F, the chairperson of the council of occupants’ representatives, who was the chairperson of the council of occupants’ representatives, had paid the audit activity expenses that was not paid to the Defendant by the chairperson of the council of occupants’ representatives, and arbitrarily using the audit activity expenses.”
