Judgment on the Defendants and defense counsel’s arguments under Article 45(3) of the Political Funds Act
1. Violation of the Political Funds Act;
The Defendants and the defense counsel asserted that the Defendants paid special party membership fees of KRW 400 million within a democratic sense that the Defendants received the special party membership fees of KRW 400 million from the perspective of helping Defendant 0 to pay the special party membership fees in a democratic sense, regardless of whether they were the candidate for the Kim Jong-ran market at all, regardless of the public nature.
In light of the following circumstances, i.e., ① Defendant 00, a democratic party-related person, as well as Defendant 1’s early 00,000 won, appears to have served as a candidate for the Kim Jong-market, but there was no public opinion poll officially conducted as a part of the examination, ② Defendant 00,000 won was provided to Defendant 1’s early 00,000 won, and Defendant 40,000 won was not the same as that of the above evidence, and Defendant 40,000 won was not the same as that of the above evidence, and Defendant 40,000,000 won was the same as that of the above, and Defendant 40,000 won was not the same as that of the party membership fee, and Defendant 4,000,000 won was not the same as that of the above, and Defendant 4,000,000 won was the same as that of the above political fund.
2. Violation of the Public Official Election Act;
The defendants and defense counsel argue that the act related to ordinary political party activities under Article 112 (2) 1 (b) of the Public Official Election Act does not constitute a contribution act by a member of a political party in accordance with the party constitution regulations and other internal regulations of a political party. The defendants claim that since the defendants exchange 400 million won to a democratic party for the purpose of paying the special party membership fee, it cannot be a contribution act under the above provisions.
Article 5 (3) of the party membership fee provision for a democratic party provides that "The person who pays the special party membership fee, the standard amount and other necessary matters shall be determined after consultation with the representative meeting." According to the evidence submitted by the prosecutor and the defense counsel, there is no fact that the representative of the democratic party decided to receive KRW 400 million as the special party membership fee from 00 million to 400 million as the special party membership fee after consultation with the representative meeting, and it is recognized that the defendants agreed to pay the amount of KRW 400 million to 100 million at will. Thus, the payment of KRW 00 million cannot be deemed as the act of paying the party membership fee or other charges to the members of a political party pursuant to the party constitution, party regulations, and other internal regulations of the political party, so long as the provision of political funds in relation to the recommendation for a candidate for public office is punished under the Political Fund Act, such criminal act cannot be deemed as an act related to the ordinary party activity permitted under the Public Official Election Act. Accordingly, the defendants and defense counsel's allegation in this part cannot
Grounds for sentencing
1. The old political practice in Korea, which received political funds in return for the recommendation of Defendant Cho Jong-soo 00 candidate, is going against the demands of our citizens to realize transparent politics, and is no longer usable. However, the Defendant’s strict punishment should be suspended by taking into account the following circumstances: (a) as the Secretary-General in charge of the finance of a democratic political party, he received contributions to resolve the difficult financial situation of a democratic party in the situation where he was faced with poor financial difficulties due to the heavy financial difficulties from the presidential election; (b) the Defendant received contributions to collect special party membership fees in a democratic manner; and (c) the Defendant received contributions to collect special party membership fees in a democratic manner; (d) some of the above money appears to be in the nature of the special party membership fees; (c) the said money was confiscated for four months or more; and (d) the Defendant’s deepness and wrong execution of the sentence was contrary to his own decision.
2. In order to correct a desirable election culture by correcting the highest 00 election culture, strict sentence is inevitable. In particular, the act of contribution offering money and goods in an election for public office is more urgent than when there is a significant infringement on the fairness of the election, and the necessity to punish it strictly. Even if the defendant was to be elected as a candidate even if he was able to be recruited as a candidate even if she was able to be recruited as a candidate by the representative of the democratic party and party members, the act of giving money and goods to the party in return for the election for public office is fundamentally denying procedural legitimacy in the process of election for public office by the party, and it is inevitable for the defendant to sentence against the defendant in that it is not sufficient to punish the party in that it was committed because the defendant was able to be elected as a candidate in return for the election for public office. However, considering the fact that the defendant's old health is not good and that he was trying to assist a democratic party that was faced with financial difficulties, the order and the like punishment are sentenced.
