The appeal is dismissed.

The grounds of appeal are examined.

The judgment below

Examining the reasoning of the judgment below in light of the evidence duly admitted by the court below, the court below was just in finding the defendant guilty of the modified facts charged. Contrary to the allegations in the grounds of appeal, the court below did not err by exceeding the bounds of the principle of free evaluation of evidence in violation of logical and empirical rules, or by misapprehending the legal principles on the calculation of profits in violation of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Economic Crimes.

In addition, pursuant to Article 383 subparagraph 4 of the Criminal Procedure Act, only in cases where death penalty, life imprisonment, or imprisonment with or without prison labor for more than ten years is imposed, an appeal may be filed on the grounds of unfair sentencing. As such, in this case where a more minor sentence is imposed against the defendant, the argument that the sentence is too unreasonable is not a legitimate ground for appeal.

Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
