2. The instant facts charged are crimes falling under Article 17 Subparag. 1 and Article 3(1)1 of the Act on Fair Labeling and Advertising, and Article 71 of the Monopoly Regulation and Fair Trade Act is applied mutatis mutandis pursuant to Article 16(3) of the same Act, and thus, a public prosecution may be instituted only when the Fair Trade Commission files an accusation (see Supreme Court Decision 2014Do100, Nov. 13, 2014). In light of the records of the instant case, there is no evidence to acknowledge that there was an accusation by the Fair Trade Commission, and thus, the procedure for filing a public prosecution constitutes invalid in violation of the provisions of law.
