However, the defendant was sentenced on January 21, 2016 to two years of suspended execution on July 14, 2016 at the Busan District Court for a crime of violation of the Act on the Control of Narcotics, etc. (hereinafter “the first final judgment”), and the crime of this case was committed on March 15, 2018 after the first final judgment, and the crime subject to the second final judgment became final and conclusive on the 1st day before the final judgment becomes final and conclusive (see, e.g., the Busan District Court Decision 2018No36901-190, Feb. 19, 2019).
