The Defendants, with the knowledge of the fact that subsidies are granted from the victim Korea Forest Service, Gyeongnam-do, and Gyeong Chang-gun when they meet certain requirements and are selected as business operators by supporting the production complex development project of forestry in 2015, the Defendants, upon the recognition that they failed to meet the requirements for designation as business operators, made false financial transaction data in the previous year as if they were capable of overcoming the results of business performance or bear self-paid charges even though they failed to meet the requirements for designation as business operators, and applied for subsidies

The Defendants prepared an application for a public project for forest income in the name of Defendant B selected as a forestry successor in early September 2014 according to the foregoing mother, and entered “200 million won” in the budget size column, and attached a certificate of account balance in the name of Defendant B deposited in KRW 200 million, and submitted a certificate of account balance in the previous year, along with a statement of project status stating the purport that there was approximately KRW 272 million sales through forest crops production projects.
