Judgment
Article 10(3)1 of the former Punishment of Tax Evaders Act (amended by Act No. 11210, Jan. 26, 2012; hereinafter the same) applies to each of the above crimes. The statute of limitations under Article 22 of the former Punishment of Tax Evaders Act is five years. This part of the public prosecution is deemed to have been instituted on February 23, 2016, when the statute of limitations expires because it is obvious that the public prosecution was instituted on February 23, 2016, when the record clearly shows that the statute of limitations has expired, and thus, the prosecution is acquitted pursuant to Article 326(3) of the Criminal Procedure Act.
