The judgment of the court below is reversed.
A defendant shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than one year and six months.
However, for three years from the date this judgment becomes final and conclusive.
Reasons
1. Summary of grounds for appeal;
A. In light of the circumstances delineated below, the court below erred by misapprehending the legal principles as to occupational breach of trust, which affected the conclusion of the judgment.
(1) There is no occupational duty to inform the Defendant of the amount of cash liquidation paid by the D Association (hereinafter “Union”) to the non-standing members (hereinafter “non-standing members”), and there is no occupational duty to inform the other non-standing members of the amount of cash liquidation of each non-standing member, and there is no obligation to inform the Defendant of the amount of cash liquidation of each non-standing member to the other non-standing members.
(2) Although there was no pre-determined cash settlement amount, since the victims concluded a contract for the purchase and sale with each other and confirmed the cash settlement amount, there is no property damage to the victims, and even if there was an allocation standard for 15.3 billion won, it cannot be applied to 16.3 billion won, so there is no causation between the defendant's benefit and the victims' loss, and the amount of damages cannot be determined.
B. The sentence imposed by the lower court (one year and six months of imprisonment) is too unreasonable.
2. Determination
A. As to the assertion of misapprehension of the legal principle, the following facts can be acknowledged according to the evidence duly admitted and investigated by the lower court.
