The appeal is dismissed.

The grounds of appeal are examined.

The judgment below

Although examining the reasoning in light of the relevant legal principles and the evidence duly admitted, the lower court did not err by exceeding the bounds of the principle of free conviction in violation of logical and empirical rules, or by misapprehending the legal doctrine as to obstruction of business by deceptive means and joint principal offenders, contrary to what is alleged in the grounds of appeal.

In addition, the argument that there was no possibility of interference with business, or that there was no connection between deceptive scheme and the result of interference with business, is the ground for appeal by the defendant, or that there was no possibility that the court below is subject to a judgment ex officio, and it is not a legitimate ground for appeal.

Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
