Judgment on the Defendant’s and defense counsel’s assertion (related to 2016Gohap7)
1. As to the argument that the defendant did not have any criminal intent by deception
A. Summary of the assertion
Although the Defendant was unable to perform the obligation to pay the agreed amount pursuant to the share acquisition contract (hereinafter “instant contract”) on August 22, 2012 with the victim Nonindicted Co. 1, the Defendant did not conclude the instant contract with the intention of deceiving ○○○○ building (hereinafter “Nonindicted Co. 2”) without intent to perform the obligation to pay the agreed amount pursuant to the instant contract from the beginning. However, the Defendant did not conclude the instant contract with the intention to acquire ○○○○ building (hereinafter “the first and second floors owned by Nonindicted Co. 2”) by investment in kind at the time of capital increase issued by Nonindicted Co. 6 Co. 6 (hereinafter “Nonindicted Co. 6”), and explained to the victim Nonindicted Co. 1 that he would pay the agreed amount to the victim Nonindicted Co. 1, etc. in cash either disposed of or provided as security. However, the Defendant failed to perform the obligation to pay the agreed amount with respect to the victim Nonindicted Co. 1, etc. as such participation
B. Determination
Comprehensively taking account of the following circumstances acknowledged by the evidence as seen earlier, it is sufficiently recognized that the Defendant had intention to acquire ○○○ building by deception. Accordingly, the above assertion by the Defendant and the defense counsel is not acceptable.
1) From October to December 2014, the Defendant sold the first floor and nine units of the second floor of the ○○○○ building owned by Nonindicted Co. 2, which was acquired from the victim Nonindicted Co. 1, etc. (No. 101 to 107, and No. 201 to 202 of the second floor) to seven units of the ○○○○○○ building owned by the victim Nonindicted Co. 1, etc. to the total number of seven units of the ○○○○○○○○○ building. The Defendant, as well as the extended payment date, on December 31, 2012, which was the date of payment under the instant contract, was the extended payment date, even on June 30, 2014, disposed of the building to Nonindicted Co. 1 and Nonindicted 4 without any prior or subsequent contact with the third party.
2) 부동산등기부등본에 의하면, 피고인은 위와 같이 7명에게 ○○○○ 건물의 1층과 2층을 호실별로 나누어 매도함으로써 그 매매대금으로 40억 원 이상을 취득한 것으로 보인다(피고인은 부동산등기부등본상 기재된 거래가액은 실제 거래가액보다 부풀려진 액수라고 주장하나, 101호의 매수인 공소외 12, 105호와 106호의 매수인 공소외 19의 각 진술 등에 비추어 보면, 등기부상 거래가액은 실제 거래가액을 그대로 반영한 것으로 보인다). 위 매매대금에서 ① 피고인이 인수한 공소외 5 은행 대출채무를 대환하면서 발생한 공소외 9 저축은행에 대한 대출원리금 14억 원 상당, ② 임대차보증금 반환채무 2억 7천만 원 상당, ③ 피고인 주장에 따르면 공소외 6 회사의 자회사인 ◁◁◁◁◁◁(DUANI)를 인수하기 위하여 발생하였다는 근저당권부 채무 3억 원 상당 등을 제외하더라도, 피고인은 적어도 20억 원 이상을 이 사건 계약과는 아무런 관련이 없는 개인적인 채무 변제, 체납세금 납부 등 개인적인 목적으로 사용하였다. 더욱이 이 사건 계약에 따르면 위 공소외 9 저축은행에 대한 대출원리금은 원래부터 피고인이 부담하여야 할 부분으로서 이를 변제한 것은 실질적으로 피고인의 개인 채무를 변제한 것이나 다름없으므로, 이러한 점까지 고려하면 피고인이 이 사건 계약의 이행을 위해서가 아니라 개인적인 목적으로 사용한 액수는 더욱 커진다. 피고인은 이처럼 ○○○○ 건물을 처분함으로써 위와 같은 거액을 받았음에도 피해자 공소외 1 등에게는 약정금의 일부조차 지급하지 않았다.
3) As the Defendant continued not to perform the obligation to pay the agreed amount, the victim Nonindicted 1 made several statements to the effect that if the payment of the agreed amount is difficult, the Defendant would return the ○○○ building to the Defendant. The Defendant asserted that even though having requested appraisal of the market price of the ○○○ building, it was lower than what he anticipated, and the relationship with the △△○○ building was also based on the relationship with the △△○○○ building, which was difficult to make a contribution in kind to Nonindicted Company 6. However, if it was difficult for the Defendant to ○○○ building on the grounds as alleged by the Defendant, as the Defendant alleged by Nonindicted 1, the Defendant could have been exempted from the responsibility for the nonperformance of the instant contract by giving the ○○○ building to the victim Nonindicted 1, etc., for long time, as the Defendant continued to maintain the right to dispose of the ○○○ building, as seen earlier, the Defendant continued to dispose of the ○○ building first after the victim and used it for personal purposes.
4) The contract of this case is prepared on the part of the defendant, and Article 3 (1) of the contract provides that "if the acquisition of shares takes effect, each party shall not rescind this contract." In other words, apart from the cancellation on the ground of deception or mistake, the defendant, once he takes over the shares of the non-indicted 2, even if he does not perform his obligation to pay the agreed amount in return, he cannot exercise the right of rescission on the ground of non-performance of obligation. Furthermore, if he directly disposes of the ○○ building to a third party or directly disposes of the ○○ building to the non-indicted 6 company, as argued by the defendant, he does not need to have the right of disposal on the ○○○ building (the shareholder of the non-indicted 2 company cannot be seen as an obstacle to the investment in kind of the non-indicted 1 on the ground that the victim is the non-indicted 1, etc.) so that the defendant had the right to dispose of the building from the beginning to the non-indicted 1, thereby securing the right to dispose of it.
5) According to the consistent statement made by the victim non-indicted 1 and the statement made by the non-indicted 4 in this court, it appears that the defendant explained the victim non-indicted 1 about the method of cashing the ○○○○ building with capital increase by issuing new shares of the non-indicted 6 was not at the time of the conclusion of the instant contract, but at the beginning of 2013. Even if the defendant mentioned the victim non-indicted 1 about the method of cashing through the non-indicted 6 at the time of the conclusion of the instant contract, the instant contract does not mention any mentioning that the defendant would dispose of the ○○○○ building through the real estate sale team held by the victim non-indicted 1, and that the defendant would sell the ○○○ building through the real estate sale team held by the victim non-indicted 1, and that the defendant held the 80 foot apartment building near Seoul Forest and paid the agreed amount without the formation of the agreement by disposing of the ○○ building with the victim or the defendant's trust in the process.
6) The Defendant asserts that, around August 2012, 2012, at the time of the instant contract, around the market price of 3.9 billion won under the name of Non-Indicted 15 of his wife, the Defendant had the ability to repay the said apartment. However, according to the copy of the instant apartment register, Non-Indicted 15 was the date of receipt of the registration of ownership transfer regarding the said apartment on January 2, 2013, which was several months after the date of receipt of the instant contract, as well as on January 2, 2013, the date of receipt of the registration of ownership transfer, which was the time after the date of receipt of the said registration, and the registration was completed after the receipt of the registration of establishment of new bank of the right to collateral security, Non-Indicted 25, 24,000 won (the maximum debt amount) and the maximum debt amount of the mortgage amount of KRW 1.47,000,000,000,000,000.
2. As to the assertion regarding the amount of fraud
A. Summary of the assertion
Even if the defendant is guilty, there is no objective market price data at the time of the contract of this case concerning the value of ○○○○ building, which serves as the basis for the amount of fraud of this case. Thus, the contract amount of this case shall not be deemed to be the amount obtained through deception, but shall be determined based on the value of ○○○○ building based on the tax calculation data (Evidence 4) based on the publicly assessed individual land price. The market price based on the above tax calculation data is KRW 1.567 million, and in this context, the amount obtained through deception of this case is below KRW 50,00,00,000,000, and if Nonindicted 5 bank loans and the obligation to return lease deposit are deducted, the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Economic Crimes (Article 37
B. Determination
In full view of the following circumstances acknowledged by the evidence as seen earlier, namely, ① the victim Nonindicted 1 stated that the amount of KRW 4 billion was added to the new construction of the entire ○○○ building; ② as seen earlier, the Defendant sold the ○○○○ building with a total of at least KRW 4 billion from October to December 12, 2014; ③ the amount that the Defendant provided by the purchaser of each ○○○ building to a financial institution as security to the financial institution is corresponding to the above transaction price; ④ the officially assessed individual land price is difficult to deem that the amount agreed upon under a contract with the victim Nonindicted 1, etc. is well reflected in the actual value of the ○○○○ building except for the amount secured by Nonindicted 5’s secured debt and the lease deposit. Accordingly, the Defendant’s assertion is rejected.
