The judgment below
Goods described in one list of crimes shall be forfeited.
The collection shall be made.
Reasons
1. Summary of grounds for appeal;
A. The judgment of the court below that rendered an additional collection on this part is erroneous in the misapprehension of legal principles, even though the defendant's custody of the goods stated in Paragraph (1) of the crime of this case does not constitute "when confiscation is impossible".
B. The sentence imposed by the lower court (six months of imprisonment, one year of suspended execution) is too unreasonable.
2. Determination

A court or an investigative agency may, if necessary, seize evidence or articles that are deemed to have been confiscated, but the confiscation is not limited to articles that have been confiscated (see Supreme Court Decision 76Do4001, May 24, 197). The fact that the articles subject to confiscation are seized and that the seizure is made through lawful procedures is not a requirement of confiscation.
According to evidence duly adopted and examined by the court below and the court below (Supreme Court Decision 2003Do705 delivered on May 30, 2003). The defendant's custody of each of the goods listed in the annexed list 1 of the court below's judgment related to the crime No. 1 of the crime committed in the judgment below is recognized, and since the goods subject to confiscation are not always limited to the seized goods, the above goods should be sentenced not to collection, but to confiscation punishment.
Nevertheless, the judgment of the court below which did not sentence the forfeiture of each of the above goods and additionally collected the value thereof.
