Nevertheless, the Defendant, upon receiving a request from the relatives and supporters in Syria who are in high-state Syria to have them enter Korea and engage in job-seeking activities, was willing to falsely invite the above Syria persons as if they were in the business partnership relationship with the above business establishment, including, but not limited to, the name of C around July 31, 2013, using the registration of a business operator for the export business of end-of-life vehicle parts.
