The appeal by the prosecutor is dismissed.
Reasons
1. Summary of grounds for appeal;
A. In full view of the fact that ①F is subject to criminal punishment as a witness of a bribe, and that the Defendant issued KRW 3 million to the Defendant, even if the statement regarding the amount of delivery was partially modified, the overall credibility of the FF statement should be recognized; ② J and K may be subject to criminal punishment in a case where the facts giving money to the Defendant are recognized; ② the credibility of the statement is low; ③ E is consistent from the beginning of an investigation to the original trial; ③ is consistently stated that the Defendant required F to take cash KRW 3 million through himself/herself as a bribe; and, accordingly, it is sufficiently recognized that the Defendant received KRW 3 million from F.
The judgment of the court below that recognized that the defendant received only two million won from F, and found the defendant not guilty on the part of one million won.
B. The sentence of unfair sentencing (two months of imprisonment and two million won of fine) by the court below is too unjustifiable and unfair.
