Text
Of the judgment of the first instance, the part against Defendant F and G shall be reversed.
Defendant
F shall be fined 3,000,000, Defendant G.
Reasons
1. The summary of the grounds for appeal against the Defendants (e.g., imprisonment of August and fine of KRW 50 million), the probation of the above imprisonment of KRW 2 years, the community service order of KRW 120 hours, Defendant F: fine of KRW 5 million; and Defendant G’s fine of KRW 5 million is too unreasonable.
2. The first instance court applied Article 246(1) of the current Criminal Act to Defendant F and G ex officio prior to the judgment on the grounds for appeal ex officio as to Defendant F and G. The former Criminal Act partially amended by Act No. 11731 on April 5, 2013, including Article 246(1). Article 1 of the Addenda of the amended Criminal Act provides that “this Act shall enter into force on the date of its promulgation.” Each of the crimes committed by the above Defendants was committed on May 11, 2009, and on October 10, 2011, since each of the crimes committed by the above Defendants was committed on the first instance court, the first instance court applied the new Act even if the former Act was applied to Defendant F and G, which was a corporation at the time of the act, so long as the punishment was not significantly changed, the first instance court applied the new Act to the above Defendants, and in this respect, the first instance judgment was no longer maintained against the above Defendants.
