As to the part concerning Defendant 1’s counter-espionage’s assertion that the facts charged were not specified
The facts charged should be stated clearly by specifying the date, time, place, and method of a crime, but it can be identified to the extent that it can be distinguished from other facts, i.e., the identity of the facts charged, and the degree of specification of the constituent elements of the crime. Even if part of it is somewhat unclear, if it can be specified by other matters stated, it would not affect the validity of the indictment (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decisions 86Do2260, Jan. 20, 1987; 90Do1613, Sept. 25, 190); and 90Do1613, Sept. 25, 1990; 200; 3) examining the facts charged as to the crime of counter-espionage of Defendant 1, the summary of the inducement obtained by the same accused is indicated, and thus, it cannot be said that there is no specification of the facts charged under Article 254(4) of the Criminal Procedure Act because all of the specific
Therefore, the judgment below to the same purport is just and without merit.
According to the records as to the part concerning the defendant 1's admissibility of the suspect interrogation protocol prepared by the prosecutor, the defendant 1 acknowledged the authenticity of the establishment of the suspect interrogation protocol of the same defendant as the prosecutor's interrogation protocol prepared by the court of first instance on the third trial date, and consented to the defendant 1's interrogation protocol prepared by the court below as evidence. Even if the defendant 1 and the defendant in the court below were forced to make a statement in the family national security planning division, the above defendants were examined six times and the examination date and place of the interrogation, the contents of their statements, etc. are examined through the records, and it does not appear that there is any reason to suspect the decentralization of the confession statement. Thus, it cannot be said that the court below's finding the defendant 1 and the defendant's statements at the prosecutor's office as evidence of guilt is unlawful.
There is no reason for the issue.
As to the denial of Defendant 2’s criminal intent
제1심판결이 들고 있는 증거들을 기록과 대조하여 보면, 피고인 2는 그가 처음 일본에 갔을 때 그의 이복동생인 공소외 1과 공소외 1의 장인인 공소외 2가 조총련의 간부로 활동중인 사실을 알았고, 그후 다시 일본에 가서 공소외 3 경영의 빠찡고에서 일하게 되면서는 공소외 3, 4 등이 조총련의 간부로서 반국가단체인 북한을 위하여 활동하고 있다는 사실을 인식하였을 뿐만 아니라, 그의 판시행위가 반국가단체의 이익이 된다는 사실도 인식하였다고 인정할 수 있으므로, 이 부분의 사실오인을 주장하는 항소이유를 배척한 원심의 조처는 수긍할 수 있고, 거기에 소론과 같은 채증법칙을 어긴 위법이나 법리의 오해가 있다고 할 수 없다.
There is no reason for this issue.
Defendant 1’s counter-espionage
Article 4 (1) 2 of the National Security Act (amended by Act No. 4373 of May 31, 1991; hereinafter the same shall apply) includes all matters of national secrets such as politics, economy, society, culture, etc. which are not limited to national secrets within a net sense, and if it is advantageous to North Korea, which is an anti-government organization, and it is likely to cause disadvantage to Korea, it constitutes a national secrets (see Supreme Court Decisions 86Do861, Jul. 8, 1986; 87Do705, Jun. 23, 1987; 87Do705, Jun. 23, 1987). Thus, in light of the records, the court below's finding of facts against Defendant 1 is acceptable, and there is no violation of the rules of evidence against the rules of evidence, and if this facts are the same, the main issue collected by the defendant constitutes an act of national secrets under Article 4 (1) of the Act, which has been collected by the defendant's intent and its purpose.

As to Defendant 1’s escape and diving
The crime of diving and escape as provided in Article 6 (2) of the Act, even in the case of escape or escape from an area not under the control of an anti-government organization, shall be deemed to fall under the case of escape or escape from an anti-government organization upon being ordered by a member of an anti-government organization (see Supreme Court Decision 87Do1341, Sept. 8, 1987). Upon examining the records, the court below's disposition that recognized that Defendant 1 escaped or escaped under the order of Non-Indicted 3, etc. who is a member of an anti-government organization, or under the order of self-government organization and carried out its purpose, and there is no error of law by misunderstanding the legal principles as provided in Article 6 (2) of the Act.
There is no reason for this issue.
As to the Defendants’ crime of receiving money and valuables
The crime of receiving money and valuables under Article 5 (2) of the Act is established upon the receipt of money and valuables by the other party knowing that he is a member of an anti-government organization or a person who received an order from an anti-government organization, and it does not intend to receive money and valuables, and it does not require any separate requirement for the receipt of money and valuables to achieve the purpose of an anti-government organization (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 84Do2323, Jan. 22, 1985; Supreme Court Decision 90Do646, Jun. 8, 1990; 90Do646, Jun. 8, 1990); and there is no violation of the rules of evidence, and therefore, the court below's decision that the defendants' act constitutes a crime of receiving money and valuables under Article 5 (2) of the Act is justified.
Therefore, there is no reason to dispute from the opposite position.
