Judgment on partial innocence (negative)

The defendant asserts that each crime under paragraph (1) of the judgment was delivered at the same level and did not have the purpose of election campaign.

“Election campaign” as provided in Article 23 of the Commissioned Election Act refers to any act that is favorable to the necessity for, or in favor of, election or defeat in, election, and that can be objectively recognized by the intention of promoting an election or defeat in, election. As such, the preparation of an election campaign or ordinary activities for an internal or procedural preparation for the future election campaign do not fall under this. However, in determining whether a certain act constitutes an election campaign, it shall be determined by comprehensively observing not only the name of the act, but also the form of the act, i.e., the time, place, method, etc. of the act, and whether it is an act accompanying the purpose of promoting the election or defeat of a specific candidate (see Supreme Court Decision 2011Do3985, Aug. 18, 2011).

In light of the above evidence, there is no reason to deliver consolation money of KRW 300,00 to Nonindicted Party 1 and Nonindicted Party 13 (Divisions of Nonindicted Party 1), and there is no reason to believe that there is a reason to give money and other valuables to the Defendant in addition to the purpose of election campaign (the Defendant and Nonindicted Party 9 have a pro rata relationship with the Defendant, but on January 19, 2015, there is no reason to deliver money and other valuables to Nonindicted Party 1 and Nonindicted Party 13 (the Defendant’s husband’s husband’s husband’s husband’s husband’s husband’s husband’s husband’s husband’s husband’s husband’s husband’s husband’s husband’s husband’s husband’s wife’s husband’s wife’s husband’s wife’s husband’s wife’s wife’s 6th day of the election). In addition, Nonindicted Party 3 did not have any pro rata relationship with the Defendant’s husband’s husband’s wife’s 7th day of the election (the Defendant’s husband’s husband’s wife’s wife’s 15th day of the first day).

Reasons for sentencing (within the scope of recommended sentence of sentencing criteria, and where a fine is selected);

Article 70 subparagraph 1 of the Act on Commissioned Elections provides that if an elected person commits a crime specified in this Act in the relevant commissioned election, and is sentenced to imprisonment with prison labor or a fine of at least one million won, the election shall be invalidated.

○ Areas subject to reduction of general purchase by candidates, etc.: KRW 1.5 million-7 million (where money, valuables, or benefits provided or received are extremely minor).

Areas to be mitigated for violations of an election campaign period: 300,000 won (where recognition of illegality is weak)

Many crimes: 1.5 million won-7.50 thousand won

○ favorable normal conditions: Initials

○ Unfavorable circumstances: (a) the total number of members of the instant election of the head of the instant ○○○○○ Savings Association (270 households); (b) the number of valid votes is about 490 votes; (c) the number of valid votes is 471 votes; (d) the Defendant, among three candidates, obtained 197 votes, 149 votes and 125 marks; (b) the Defendant, among the three candidates, obtained 197 votes and 149 votes and 125 marks; and (c) the number of members of the Defendant sent text messages to the instant illegal election campaign is 157.

The dissemination of money and valuables is an offense among election crimes which is the poor nature of the crime. It is more serious impact on the price of the elector in the case of an election. Accordingly, the Commissioned Election Act punishs the most severe punishment for spraying money and imposes the same punishment on the person receiving money and valuables (Article 58, 59). The money and valuables received shall be confiscated and collected as necessary (Article 60). The candidate’s spouse or lineal ascendant or descendant shall invalidate the candidate’s election even though they are punished for this crime (Article 70 subparag. 2), and the maximum amount of 100 million won has been provided with strong institutional system such as the payment of monetary rewards to the reporter for a criminal attack (Article 76). In light of the fact that there is no need to repeatedly impose punishment on the spread of money and valuables even if the head of the National East Election Association repeatedly takes a certain amount of expenses to establish a fair election culture in the future, the defendant and the elector’s person subject to the advance punishment may be determined by taking account of the number of times of giving money and valuables and other circumstances.
