B. The punishment sentenced by the lower court (one year of imprisonment) is too unreasonable.

C.

Therefore, the defendant receives a bribe equivalent to the employment profit in relation to the job act.

Nevertheless, the judgment of the court below which acquitted this part of the facts charged is erroneous in misconception of facts or misapprehension of legal principles.

2. Determination

A. The lower court found Defendant A guilty of this part of the facts charged by comprehensively taking account of the evidence as indicated in the judgment, and found Defendant A guilty of this part of the facts charged. The following circumstances acknowledged by the evidence duly admitted and investigated by the lower court, namely, ① the act of giving or receiving money in return for an improper solicitation, all of which are subject to punishment. As there are motives to prepare a loan certificate in order to conceal that the illegal solicitation is the price, the existence of the loan certificate alone is difficult to recognize AK as an individual loan, ② if the said money is merely a personal loan loan as alleged by the Defendant, there is no reason to receive it through the account of BM, and there is no reason to return it again to AK after the commencement of the audit of the Defendant, and ③ Defendant and AK are merely a personal loan borrowed by the prosecution.
