Text
The appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
We examine the grounds of appeal.
1. As to occupational embezzlement:
According to the evidence admitted by the court of first instance as cited by the court below, it can be sufficiently recognized that the crime of occupational embezzlement in the judgment against the defendant is committed, and there is no violation of the rules of evidence such as the theory of lawsuit or misunderstanding the legal principles on the crime of embezzlement. Therefore, the argument is groundless.
2. As to the preparation and exercise of a promissory note in the name of the representative director of the non-indicted company 1, who has been employed as the representative director of the non-indicted company 1 (hereinafter referred to as the "non-indicted 1") from around November 26, 1985, and the defendant still exercised the issuance of a promissory note with the name of the above representative director of the above company, indicating the defendant as the representative director of the non-indicted 1's company, although the representative director of the non-indicted 1 was changed to the non-indicted 1's non-indicted 1's non-indicted 1's non-indicted 1's non-indicted 1's name, the defendant's act of preparing and exercising a promissory note in the name of the representative director of the above company, which has no right to perform his duties as the representative director due to the change of the representative director of the non-indicted 1's company, or the defendant's exercise of authority as the representative director's actual representative director of the bank's company's title.
3. Therefore, the defendant's appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
