Part of innocence - Part of frauds against victim V (2017 Height32)
1. Summary of the facts charged
The Defendant made a false statement to the victim V on the date and time, place, as indicated in the criminal facts stated in paragraph (5) of the crime stated in the judgment, that “The Defendant would have a relative or branch of the victim to be employed by the CF. However, on May 2013, even if the Defendant had already retired from the CF and received money from the victim, he/she had no intent or ability to have the victim employed the relative or branch of the victim to the CF. The Defendant had by deceiving the victim as above and received KRW 35 million from the victim.
2. Defendant's assertion;
Although the defendant has received KRW 20 million from the victim, he/she has not received the excess amount.
3. Determination
In full view of the following facts and circumstances acknowledged by the evidence duly adopted and examined by the court, it is difficult to view that the evidence produced by the prosecutor alone received money exceeding KRW 20 million from the victim at the above date, time, and place, and there is no other evidence to prove otherwise.
1) On October 5, 2015, the victim stated that “20 million won was stated in the complaint which was first submitted on October 5, 2015,” but on October 12, 2015, the victim stated that “35 million won was stated in the police investigation conducted on October 12, 2015,” and that “30 million won was paid in this court,” and “35 million won was not accurately memoryd,” and that “35 million won was paid.” It is not consistent with the statement.
2) The victim stated to the effect that "the victim's statement was 30 million won in this court for the reasons why he reversed the statement on the amount of damage" was 30 million won in this court. "The defendant stated the amount of damage to the complaint amount as 20 million won due to mistake," and "the victim was 20 million won first from the date when the crime of this case was committed, and the defendant demanded money, which was 20 million won first in advance, so that there was an error in the process of filing a complaint." However, the above complaint stated to the effect that "the defendant was working as an executive of the C Trade Union around the beginning of August 2015, and the defendant was employed for three times in 2015 and demanded 35 million won in cash to be paid by the victim, and the victim's statement to the effect that it is difficult for the victim to specifically make the statement to the effect that it was 100 million won in cash."
3) From the end of September 2015, X also stated to the effect that “A victim would promptly return 20 million won to himself/herself,” and the victim stated to the effect that “A victim would return 20 million won to himself/herself even after the complaint.”
4. Conclusion, this part of the facts charged does not constitute a case where there is no evidence of a crime with regard to the part of the damaged amount exceeding KRW 20 million, and thus, a not-guilty verdict should be rendered pursuant to the latter part of Article 325 of the Criminal Procedure Act. However, as long as it is found guilty of a crime of fraud as stated in paragraph (5) of the judgment in relation to
