In relation to the attached list of crimes (7) of the victim's name, all cash withdrawn from the account in the name of the victim is not embezzled by the defendant.
3. Determination
A. As to the annexed list of crimes (6)
1) Attached Table 17, 18, 20, 25, 41, 42, 56, 68, and 70 of the amount loaned by the Defendant to the victim company is determined to have been returned. Thus, it is excluded from the amount of embezzlement.
2) The [Attachment 21] Nos. 21 in [Attachment 21] transfers from the account of the victim company to the account under the name of the defendant, and then transfers from the account under the name of the defendant to the account of the victim again, the amount of money transferred on the same day is excluded from the amount of embezzlement.
3) The [Attachment 35] Nos. 35 in the list of crimes (6) is part of the salary that the defendant received from the victim company and overlaps with the list of crimes (2). Thus, it is excluded from the amount of embezzlement.
4) Attached Table Nos. 38, 48, 55, 57, 63, 64, 67, 69, 72, and 77 shall be paid first to L, AD, Q, AM, AP, Q, Q, F,O, AV, and AY, and the amount returned from the victim company is determined as the amount of embezzlement. Thus, the number Nos. 72 in Attached Table No. 72 is excluded from the amount of embezzlement (as seen in the guilty part, only the remainder except the AL portion is excluded from the amount of embezzlement).
5) Since the [Attachment 62] Nos. 62 in [Attachment 62] overlaps with the list of offenses in [Attachment 62], it is excluded from the amount of embezzlement.
6) Since the [Attachment 13] Nos. 13 and 14 in [Attachment 14] are the amount that the defendant paid to the customer of the victim company, the amount of embezzlement excluded from the amount of embezzlement (However, No. 14 is excluded from the amount of embezzlement except the portion recognized as the defendant's embezzlement as set forth in the guilty part.
B. As to the annexed list of crimes (7)
1) As to the amount withdrawn from the Defendant’s passbook as embezzlement amount, barring any special circumstance such as the Defendant’s use of the above Defendant’s passbook in substance, it is difficult to view that the Defendant’s withdrawal of money from the Defendant’s passbook as unauthorized Withdrawal without permission (the content of the Defendant’s passbook appears not to have been withdrawn in cash on the date indicated as the date of withdrawal, but on the date indicated as the date of withdrawal).
2) Attached Table 1,2,5,7,8,11, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 22, 25, 27, 29 through 32, 36, 39, 43 through 46, 51 through 53, 57 through 59, 61, 66 through 72, 80 through 86, 90, 93, 96, and 97 are not deposited in cash in the account under the name of the defendant, etc. on the day when cash is withdrawn from the account of the victim’s passbook or within the short time period.

Attached Table 9, there is evidence submitted by the prosecutor as follows:
In full view of the fact that there is no details of transfer from the account in the name of BI from June 15, 201, and ③ the details of the account in the name of the defendant with respect to the transaction with BI on June 15, 2011, BI on June 15, 2011, the amount transferred to the defendant on June 15, 201 appears to have been settled by the defendant on the part where BI paid KRW 10,000 to the victim company on June 10, 201, the evidence submitted by the prosecutor alone can be deemed to have proved that the defendant embezzled money from the victim as shown in the No. 12 of the crime list by using a false tax invoice. There is no evidence to acknowledge otherwise.
A person shall be appointed.
