The appeal is dismissed.

The grounds of appeal are examined.

The judgment below

Examining the reasoning in light of the evidence duly admitted, the lower court did not err by exceeding the bounds of the principle of free evaluation of evidence against logical and empirical rules, failing to exhaust all necessary deliberations, or by misapprehending the legal doctrine on joint principal offenders, disposal of fraud, calculation of the amount of fraud, calculation of the amount of profit, etc. under Article 3 (1) of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Economic Crimes, as otherwise alleged in the grounds of appeal.

Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
