Since G acquired the Defendant’s shares as a broker and took office as E’s representative director while acquiring the Defendant’s shares as a broker, G acquired the management right and shares with other person’s capital, such as the bond company’s funds, which are not one’s own capital, and therefore

이에 피고인은 주가조작 전문가인 F가 출소하자 G, H와 함께 E 주가를 인위적으로 부양하여 부당한 이득을 취득하려고 마음먹고 속칭 주가조작 주포 F에게 시세조종자금으로 1억 2,000만 원을 교부하면서 E 주식시세조종을 요청하였고, F는 주변의 지인들에게 투자자문사 설립을 가장하면서 "자금과 계좌를 주면 매월 정산 시 10% 이상 수익을 보장해 주겠다"고 말하여 타인의 증권계좌와 주가조작 자금을 모집한 후 위 계좌들을 이용하여 E 주식에 대하여 소위 '뻥' 주문이나 고가매수 주문 등 시세조종성 주문을 내어 E 주식을 시세조종하기로 순차 공모하였다.

Judgment on Defendant’s argument

1. Determination on admissibility of evidence

(a) Probative value of each question answer sheet (the defendant, the AF, the AI, and the AG) prepared by the investigator of the Financial Supervisory Service;

1) Summary of the assertion

According to Article 427 of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, a public official who belongs to the Financial Services Commission has the right to investigate persons suspected of market price manipulation and has the authority to examine them. On the other hand, while the investigator belonging to the Financial Supervisory Service (the defendant is using the term "investigative Team", although the legal accurate name is a "investigative Team", so the investigator's order is below, and Article 427-2 (1) of the same Act does not have the right to examine persons suspected of market price manipulation. However, the investigator of the Financial Supervisory Service has no authority to examine persons suspected of market price manipulation by attending the investigating State of the Financial Supervisory Service. However, once such questioning is conducted by a person without the authority to examine, he is an illegal examination. This examination is conducted by a person without the authority to do so. Although the right to refuse to make a statement before the defendant makes a statement as an exercise of the right to investigate, such examination should have not gone through such procedures, and therefore, all parts of the written statement prepared by each investigator and the prosecutor's answer submitted as evidence are inadmissible evidence.

2) Determination on the above assertion

With respect to the investigation under paragraph (1) of Article 176 of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act (hereinafter referred to as the "Act"), where there is a violation of the Act or an order or disposition under the Act or this Act, or where it is deemed necessary for the protection of investors or sound trade practice, the Securities and Futures Commission may order a person suspected of a violation or any other related person to submit a report or materials for reference, or may require the Governor of the Financial Supervisory Service to investigate books, documents and other materials (Article 426 (1) of the Act), and may require a person suspected of a violation or any other related person to submit a statement concerning the facts and circumstances of the investigation, to appear to make a statement concerning the investigation, to present books, documents and other materials necessary for the investigation (Article 2 (1) of the Act), and where it falls under any of the subparagraphs of attached Table 15, corrective orders or take other measures prescribed by Presidential Decree, Article 376 (1) 11 through 10 of the Enforcement Decree of the Act provides that the Financial Services Commission may notify the institution or investigation agency of the Act or take other related measures under paragraph (2).

In full view of the above provisions, the investigator belonging to the Financial Supervisory Service shall be construed as having the authority to request the suspect and the related persons to appear and make necessary investigations so that the Securities and Futures Commission may take measures prescribed by law such as corrective order and accusation against the investigation agency with respect to the manipulation of stock prices. In this case, the investigator’s aforementioned investigation activities such as the investigator B and AH are lawful.

In addition, the right to notify the right to remain silent cannot be derived under Article 12(2) of the Constitution, and legislative support is required to recognize the right to remain silent (see Supreme Court Decision 2013Do5441, Jan. 16, 2014). In other words, the Act or relevant regulations do not have any provision regarding the notification of the right to remain silent in investigating the suspicion of market manipulation crime committed by the investigator of the Financial Supervisory Service. It goes beyond the passive obligation guaranteed by the Constitution not to infringe the right not to be forced to make a statement unfavorable to himself/herself, and it is a legislative policy issue whether the Financial Supervisory Service imposes the duty to actively notify the person to be polled under the suspicion of market manipulation to the members of the Financial Supervisory Service, and even according to each of the above evidence, the Governor of the Financial Supervisory Service led the relevant investigator to make a false statement in compliance with the facts charged of the instant case, or distorted or distorted the written answer, such as inducing him/her to make a prior representation, or making a prior representation of the related person's statements.

Considering the fact that no data can be found in light of the fact that there is no evidence to view, in the instant case, each of the instant answers cannot be deemed unlawful or inadmissible solely on the ground that the Financial Supervisory Service’s failure to notify the person to be polled and B of the right to remain silent during the investigation process.

3) As to the provision on the basis of granting admissibility of each question and answer document prepared by the Governor of the Financial Supervisory Service

A) Whether the questioning and answer constitutes an interrogation protocol or statement prepared by investigation agency other than the prosecutor under Article 312(3) and (4) of the Criminal Procedure Act

In light of the following, each of the questions and answers of this case prepared by the investigator of the Financial Supervisory Service cannot be seen as the interrogation protocol or statement prepared by investigation agencies other than prosecutor.

(1) "Investigation agency other than prosecutor" under Article 312 (3) of the Criminal Procedure Act refers to a judicial police officer under Article 196 of the Criminal Procedure Act and a person who performs his/her duties under other Acts, and Article 312 (4) of the same Act specifies "inspection and judicial police officer as the person preparing the protocol". However, there is no provision that grants authority to perform the duties

② As seen earlier, the Act provides that the investigator of the Financial Supervisory Service may issue a corrective order, warning, caution, accusation, or notification to an investigation agency in the event of a violation of the Act, and notification to the relevant agency or investigation agency in the event of a violation of other Acts, and grants only the authority of "request for investigation or accusation, which is not an investigation" to a member of the investigative agency.

(3) As seen earlier, the Governor of the Financial Supervisory Service may demand the suspect or person concerned to submit a written statement on the facts and status of the matters to be investigated, to appear to make a statement on the matters to be investigated, and to submit books, documents and other articles necessary for the investigation. However, such demand is merely an investigation to secure basic materials for requesting an investigation or filing a complaint, not in investigation procedures, and may not be subject to compulsory arrest, detention, etc. Accordingly, it cannot be deemed that the investigator of the Financial Supervisory Service falls under an investigation agency.

B) Existence of admissibility of the written answer

Each question answer to the defendant and AF, AI, and AG is recorded by a person other than the investigative agency stipulated in Article 313(1) of the Criminal Procedure Act, with the statement of the defendant and AF, AI, and AG, with the signature or seal of the above person, and the authenticity of the statement is recognized by each statement in this court, and the defendant also has the authenticity of the written answer to the defendant.

4) As to the admissibility of the derivative evidence, such as each prosecutor's statement of AH, etc.

As seen earlier, since the investigator belonging to the Financial Supervisory Service prepares each of the above questions and answers within the scope of his/her authority through an investigation, they cannot be deemed illegal collection evidence, and the prosecutor's protocol, etc. derived from the content of the protocol is not the same as the evidence of collection of illegality. Thus, the first defendant's assertion on a different premise is without merit.

2. Judgment on the facts charged of this case

In light of the following circumstances, the defendant, in collusion with F, is deemed to have committed an act of price manipulation of E shares in collusion with F.

A. The relationship between the defendant and F

1) F’s E motive for stock collection

① In full view of the fact that F makes a consistent statement from investigative agencies to this court that E shares were gathered upon the Defendant’s request, ② from July 200 to July 2000 upon the Defendant’s request, F, which is the “stock price manipulation” of this case, appears to have gathered E shares upon the Defendant’s request. In full view of the fact that F, upon the Defendant’s request, had been made in the name account in which F used for the collection of E shares, there was almost no transaction details.

(ii)F’s price manipulation funds for E stocks;

① The F statements from the investigative agency to this court that it received KRW 100 million from the Defendant. Although there is a difference in the statement regarding the receipt of money from the Defendant, as to the fact that the funds were received from the Defendant and the KRW 100 million were used as market price manipulation funds, the F has consistently made it reliable. ② After receiving the Defendant’s request for the purchase of E shares, the Defendant stated that he was in need of 3-4 office expenses and their office expenses and KRW 20 million for purchase of BI office rent and Nompt, etc., the Defendant stated that KRW 100,000 was consistently paid from the investigative agency to the Defendant for KRW 100,000,000 from KRW 20,000,000,000,000 won for KRW 100,000,000,000 won for 10,0000,000 won for 20,000,000 won for 10,000,000 won for 1.

According to the records of this case, the defendant argued to the effect that some of the above 10 million won check was presented in the name of BP, which was re-issued in small amount, and that "the defendant provided F with KRW 20 million to F and used AF for the purchase cost of Nowon-gu, etc." is not reliable. However, although the above 10 million check was already presented in BO payment, the defendant's statement of F and AF cannot be ruled out, considering the relationship with F and the defendant at the time of the crime of this case, and the defendant's status in E, it appears that F were provided with each of the above checks by the defendant, and it cannot be found that F were provided otherwise by another person, and the credibility of AF's check cannot be ruled out solely on the circumstances that AF had already been provided for the purchase of Nowon-do checks, etc. for the purpose of HO payment.

3) Contact relationship between the Defendant and F

① In full view of the fact that the Defendant visited F’s BI office twice a week during the instant market price manipulation period, ② the number of times from July 31, 201 to September 30 of the same year before and after the said market price manipulation period was 1,025 times from the Defendant’s cell phone to the F mobile phone, and 363 times from the F mobile phone to the Defendant’s cell phone use, and the number of times the number of times the Defendant sent from the F mobile phone to the Defendant’s cell phone was 363 times, and the Defendant and F during the instant market price manipulation period, it appears that F exchanged with the intent by frequent contact with the Defendant at the time of operating E’s stock market price.

(b) Status of defendants in E;

① From June 201, the Defendant was called “the president” from June 201, when G was the representative director, and was involved in E’s work for J Distribution, including employment of E employee, discussions on the level of wages for E employee, Company disclosure, etc. ② The Defendant transferred KRW 730 million out of the subscription price of new shares to B Q account substantially operated by the Defendant, ③ AG, a director in charge of finance, was charged with KRW 1130 million out of the above KRW 11330 million out of the above KRW 11330 million out of the above KRW 1.3 billion out of the above KRW 1.3 billion in the check to the Defendant, and the Defendant stated that he again paid KRW 130 million out of that amount to KRW 130 million to the Defendant during the period of use of the funds during which he was actually involved in the operation and management of the E.

C. Circumstances after the representative director G escape

1) In full view of the following facts: (a) from an investigative agency to an investigation agency, the Defendant owned the shares of E; (b) after G escape, the Defendant stated that he was unable to sell the shares of E; and (c) after G escape, the Defendant appears in the company after G locking, and that he was asserting that he had the shares of E; and (c) the Defendant provided a portion on the part of BR upon delegation of the voting right of approximately KRW million when a temporary general meeting of shareholders is held on November 20, 201; (d) the Defendant, as the creditors and shareholders of the company were aware of, is likely to have been involved in the company’s situation with a deep interest with E share, not in a bona fide position after G escape; and (e) was involved in the company’s situation with E share price.

2) In addition, (1) the Defendant: (a) purchased shares of E during the price manipulation period of this case; (b) prepared a letter of payment stating that the Defendant would be liable for losses incurred by E stock investment to BD twice; and (c) the Defendant continued to contact with F by visiting the F Office located in BI with the AI, which was highly likely to receive E after G escape; and (d) in light of the fact that the Defendant continued to contact with F Office after G escape, the Defendant does not seem to have any connection with the price manipulation of the E in this case.

Reasons for sentencing

1. The scope of punishment by sentence: Imprisonment with prison labor for not less than three years and not more than thirty years;

2. Scope of recommended sentences according to the sentencing criteria;

[Determination of Punishment] The third-class penalty (at least 500 million won, less than 5 billion won), which infringes on fairness in the capital market (market manipulation) of securities and financial crime group

【Special Convicted Person】

[Scope of Recommendation] Basic Field, Imprisonment with labor for not less than three years, but not more than six years

3. Determination of sentence: The act of stock price manipulation by three and a half years of imprisonment not only damages the trust in the stock market and prevents the sound development of the capital market, but also causes unexpected damages to many and unspecified general investors, and it is highly necessary to punish E as a result of the act of stock price manipulation in this case. Although there were several statements from the persons concerned who participated in the stock price manipulation in this case, it is inevitable to sentence sentence against the defendant in that it continues to be a single criminal act by asserting that the defendant would not be able to understand and avoid responsibilities of the defendant, even though the defendant made a statement from the persons concerned who participated in the stock price manipulation in this case.

However, there are no criminal records of the defendant with regard to manipulation of market prices, and the fact that it is necessary to consider equality in the case of concurrent crimes between the violation of the Commercial Act and the violation of the latter part of Article 37 of the Criminal Act, etc. with respect to which a judgment has become final and conclusive, shall be considered as favorable circumstances to the defendant. In addition, considering the defendant's age, character and conduct, family relationship, circumstances after the crime, and other factors of sentencing as shown in the records and arguments of this
