All appeals by the Defendants are dismissed.
Reasons
1. The summary of the grounds for appeal is too unreasonable that the lower court’s punishment (a fine of 4.5 million won, a fine of 4.5 million won, and a fine of 3.5 million won) is too unreasonable.
2. In full view of all the sentencing conditions, including the Defendants’ recognition of the crime and the fact that the Defendants’ economic situation is difficult, but the Defendants committed repeated crimes over a long time, and the background, method, and result of the crime including the fact that the amount used for gambling is considerable amount, the circumstances after the crime, and the equity in punishment with other similar cases (the sentencing was imposed against multiple co-defendants taking into account the period of gambling, the size of money, the existence of criminal records, etc.), the lower court’s punishment against the Defendants cannot be deemed unreasonable.
3. As such, the Defendants’ appeal is without merit, and all of them are dismissed under Article 364(4) of the Criminal Procedure Act. It is so decided as per Disposition.
