All appeals by the Defendants and the Prosecutor are dismissed.
Reasons
1. Summary of grounds for appeal;
A. Defendants (1) misunderstanding the facts is merely a receipt of KRW 5 million from Defendant B under the pretext of brokerage commission, not a receipt of a request from a public official in charge.
In addition, the defendants damaged the road portion of this case for the purpose of drainage and did not damage it for the purpose of obstructing the passage of the general public, so there is no intention to commit a general traffic obstruction against the defendants.
(2) The sentence of the lower court (Defendant A: a fine of KRW 5 million; Defendant B: a prison term of KRW 4 million; a suspended sentence of KRW 1 year; and an additional collection) is too unreasonable.
B. The lower court’s sentence against the Defendants on the prosecutor is too unhued and unreasonable.
2. Determination
A. The Defendants alleged the same purport in the lower court’s determination as to the Defendants’ assertion of mistake of facts, and the lower court rejected the said assertion by providing a detailed statement in the column of “determination on issues”. In light of the records, the lower court’s determination is just and acceptable, and there is an error of law by misunderstanding of facts, as alleged by the Defendants.
Therefore, the Defendants’ assertion of mistake is without merit.
B. There is no past record of criminal punishment or criminal punishment heavier than fine before the Defendants to determine the unjust assertion of sentencing by the Defendants and the prosecutor, etc., which are favorable to the Defendants.
On the other hand, the crime of this case was received KRW 5 million under the pretext of solicitation and good offices with respect to the building permit case handled by the public officials by Defendant B, and the defendants conspired in collusion with the defendants to obstruct the traffic of the general public in a way that is equivalent to 70 cm in width and 1m in depth, and the crime of violation of the Act by attorney at bar is a serious crime that impairs the public trust in the affairs handled by the public officials.
