The defendant's appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
1. The main point of the grounds for appeal is that the lower court’s punishment (fine 3,000,000) is too unreasonable.
2. The Korean Criminal Procedure Act, which takes the principle of trial priority and the principle of directness, has the unique area of the first instance court with regard to sentencing, and where there is no change in the conditions of sentencing compared to the first instance court, and the first instance court’s sentencing does not deviate from the reasonable scope of discretion, it is reasonable to respect it
(Supreme Court Decision 2015Do3260 Decided July 23, 2015). In light of the above legal doctrine, there is no particular relationship or change of circumstances in which the lower court is to reduce the sentence in a trial, and in full view of various sentencing conditions stipulated in Article 51 of the Criminal Act, including the Defendant’s age, character and conduct, environment, motive, means and consequence of the crime, and the circumstances before and after the crime, the sentence of the lower court is too unreasonable.
3. If so, the defendant's appeal is without merit, and it is dismissed in accordance with Article 364 (4) of the Criminal Procedure Act. It is so decided as per Disposition.
