2)가)항에 해당하는 부분에 대하여, 원심은 이를 모두 유죄로 인정하여 피고인들이 범죄단체인 C파 구성원으로서 후배 조직원의 안면 부위 등을 때리거나 후배 조직원에게 지시하여 다른 후배 조직원에게 이른바 ‘빳다’를 친 것이 위 폭력 범죄단체의 존속ㆍ유지를 위해 활동한 것으로서 폭력행위 등 처벌에 관한 법률(이하 ‘폭력행위처벌법’이라 한다) 제4조 제1항이 정한 범죄단체 활동죄에 해당한다고 판단하였다.
B. Article 4(1) of the Punishment of Violences Act provides that a person who forms a criminal organization or joins a criminal organization shall be punished as well as a person who acts as a member of a criminal organization. Paragraph (2) of the same Article provides that a person who acts as a member of a criminal organization shall be punished as an individual criminal act committed by the members of the criminal organization. Paragraph (3) of the same Article provides that a person who is essential for the continuous existence of a criminal organization shall be punished, and Paragraph (4) of the same Article provides that a person who acts as a member of the criminal organization
On the other hand, Article 4 (1) of the Punishment of Violences Act prior to the amendment by Act No. 7891 of March 24, 2006 was only punished for the formation of a criminal organization or joining act, but not for the activities as a member of the criminal organization. The precedent was interpreted as immediately establishing a criminal organization or joining the criminal organization, and it was interpreted as an immediate crime that is completed at the same time after joining the criminal organization.
