Judgment on the credibility of Defendant C’s statement
In the case of accepting a bribe, the defendant, who was selected as the receiver of the bribe, denies the fact of the bribery at the time of the acceptance of the bribe, and there is no evidence to support it, in order to find the defendant guilty only with the statement of the receiver, there should be evidence, and there should be credibility to exclude a reasonable doubt. In determining the credibility of the statement, not only the rationality, objective reasonableness, and consistency before and after the statement itself, but also his human nature should be examined (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2008Do8137, Jan. 15, 2009).
As to the instant case, Defendant C’s statement that Defendant A gave KRW 2.6 million to Defendant A three times, and KRW 1 million once to Defendant B is consistent with the evidence of conviction. In light of the aforementioned facts, Defendant C’s statement to the effect that (i) specifically explain the time, place, method of delivery, and reason for giving money to Defendant A and gave money to Defendant A and B is consistent; (ii) Defendant C demanded a construction business operator who moved the soil from the new village maintenance to the waste reclamation site of KRW 4,60,000 after deducting value-added tax from KRW 4,00,000,000,000,000 won was delivered to Defendant C; and (iii) it is considered that the process of delivery and the situation at the time of delivery and trust of the money to Defendant C at the expense of Defendant C’s environmental construction and delivery of the money to Defendant C’s soil to each of the Ministry of Environment; and (iv) the process of delivery of the money to Defendant C’s soil to each of the Ministry of Construction and Transportation.
(5) In light of the fact that Defendant C’s statements concerning the amount of money distributed three times to Defendant A or the amount of money distributed to Defendant A, or the place of delivery two and three times are somewhat inconsistent or inconsistent with the objective circumstance, considering the fact that there was a gap near three years from the time of the occurrence of the case to the investigation agency and this court, it appears to be due to the limitation of memory; and 6) as at the time of the prosecutor’s investigation, Defendant B made a detailed confession of the following facts: (i) if the amount of money distributed to Defendant B, other than the chief of the division in charge of aggregate extraction business, was given to Defendant B, the amount of money raised to the chief of the division in excess of the general rule of experience, it can be sufficiently recognized as reasonable, objective, reasonable, and consistent with the general rule of experience; (ii) in light of the fact that Defendant C’s statements made by Defendant C were made in a state where it was possible to punish Defendant C with money paid to Defendant C, it is difficult to find the grounds for Defendant C’s statements to the same effect.
Although Defendant A and B are strongly denied the entire facts charged for sentencing, the fact that they did not cause any particular concern while living a public office for a period of not more than 30 years, there is no same power, and the amount of accepted money is not significant. Considering all the circumstances revealed in the trial process of this case, such as the receipt of money directly to private business operators by Defendant C, a subordinate employee, rather than directly demanding money, the suspension of qualification should be imposed as ordered.
