The establishment of a crime of false accusation and report without conviction of truth;
Summary of Judgment
In the establishment of a crime of false accusation, it is sufficient to report the fact that there is no conviction of the truth for the purpose of having another person receive criminal or disciplinary action, and it is not necessary to have the reporter confirmed that the reported fact is false. Therefore, it is the so-called crime of false accusation by the defendant who submitted a written accusation, based on the presumption that the deposit on the account book has not been made available without conviction as to the useful fact even though the Nonindicted Party has not embezzled money.
