The prosecutor's appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
1. According to the evidence submitted by the Prosecutor (misunderstanding of the facts), the facts charged in the instant case are fully found guilty that the Defendant occupied and enjoyed the right to benefit from the administrative property without permission despite being aware of the extinction of the right to benefit therefrom.
Nevertheless, the court below erred in finding the Defendant not guilty of the facts charged of this case on the ground that there is insufficient proof of intention by mistake of facts.
2. The burden of proving the existence of an intentional act, which is a subjective element of the crime prosecuted, is also imposed on the military prosecutor. The conviction should be based on evidence of probative value that leads the judge to believe that the facts charged are true beyond a reasonable doubt.

However, such circumstances cited by the lower judgment, in particular, it is difficult to readily conclude that an application for a disposition of interference with the Defendant, etc. filed against F (State) by the Gu Office, etc., with the following: (a) the Defendant paid a commission fee to a police officer on July 2015; (b) the background leading up to the submission of the letter by I was disputed; and (c) the submission of the letter was withdrawn; and (d) the application for a disposition of interference
