The reason for sentencing (defendant A) (a) Defendant A employed a doctor, established a so-called office hospital, and acquired medical care benefit funds from the damaged Corporation. Since the act of opening and operating a medical institution by a person who is not a medical person or a medical corporation is so anti-social that it cannot be easily acceptable in light of the degree of illegality, it is necessary to strictly punish and eradicate the act. The purpose of the Medical Service Act is to prevent a person who can establish a medical institution from harming public health or sound medical order due to excessive pursuit of profit-making, and the above Defendant violated the legislative intent as seen above by pursuing profit-making, and in particular, it is difficult to readily view the liability for the crime, since he/she employed three doctors in order and followed the illegal act for more than one year.

The above circumstances include the criminal records, age, character and conduct, intelligence and environment of the above defendant, motive, means and consequence of the crime, and the circumstances after the crime, and the sentencing conditions indicated in the records shall be determined as ordered.
