The judgment of the court below is reversed.
Defendant shall be punished by a fine of KRW 700,000.
The above fine shall not be paid by the defendant.
Reasons
In full view of the evidence presented in the summary of the grounds for appeal, the court below found the defendant not guilty of the defendant who provided money to E for the election campaign, which affected the conclusion of the judgment by misunderstanding the facts.
Before the judgment on the grounds for appeal by the public prosecutor ex officio, the public prosecutor shall keep the existing facts charged as the primary facts charged, and the preliminary application law provides that "Article 35 (5) and Article 59 of the Act on Entrusted Elections by Public Organizations, Etc.," and the preliminary charges apply for permission to amend an amendment to an indictment adding the same contents as those stated in the following facts as the facts charged.
