The crime of obscenity, etc., in which the judgment of the court below against the Defendant became final and conclusive, shall be sentenced to punishment for the crime of fraud of this case by taking into account equity with the case where the judgment is concurrently rendered pursuant to Article 39(1) of the Criminal Act, in the relationship of concurrent crimes after Article 37 of the Criminal Act.
