Judgment on the defendant's defense counsel's assertion
The defendant's defense counsel asserts that when calculating a fine under Article 2 (2) of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Crimes, the criminal proceeds belonging to the defendant are only 4.4 million won as a result of illegal regular inspections and comprehensive inspections of motor vehicles and dividing the profits of the accomplices and their profits, the defendant's defense counsel shall calculate the amount of the fine on the basis of the criminal proceeds actually acquired by the defendant.
In the event that several co-offenders jointly commit the crime of acceptance of bribe, the accomplice cannot be exempted from the liability for the crime as well as his amount of the acceptance of bribe. Thus, in determining the amount of the acceptance of bribe to which Article 2(1) of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Crimes applies, the total amount of the acceptance of bribe shall be based on the aggregate amount of all the co-offenders, and each co-offender shall not be based on the amount actually acquired or the amount he/she wishes to receive is distributed (see Supreme Court Decision 9Do1557, Aug. 20, 199, etc.). Likewise, in applying Article 2(2) of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Crimes, it is reasonable to determine the amount of fine based on the aggregate amount of the acceptance of all all the co-offenders. Accordingly, the defendant's defense counsel is groundless
