Reasons
1. Summary of grounds for appeal;
A. The Defendant paid 29 million won out of the initial amount of criminal facts No. 1 as stated in the judgment of the court below to D attorneys at the time of receiving the initial amount of money.
Therefore, 29 million won should be deducted from the amount received by the defendant as the criminal facts of this case (20 million won in total, No. 1 (50 million won in the judgment, No. 2 of the judgment, and 42.6 million won in total).
Furthermore, the above KRW 29 million falls under the crimes listed in No. 1-8 and No. 10 of the List 1-10 of the Crimes in Annex 2 of the judgment of the court below, and even according to the list of crimes in the above crimes, it is confirmed that the defendant paid KRW 20 million as attorney's fees.
Nevertheless, the court below erred in the misapprehension of legal principles since it deemed that the total amount of KRW 13.1 million was paid to D attorneys among the money paid by G, etc.
B. The punishment sentenced by the lower court (one year and six months of imprisonment) is too unreasonable.
