2. Determination

A. The defendant and his defense counsel did not have made the same statement as the facts charged, and the defendant asserted that D and their behaviors do not merely appear as a contribution act on the job prepared for the defendant's employees and meals.

B. In the relevant legal principles, the burden of proof for the criminal facts prosecuted in a criminal trial is to be borne by the public prosecutor, and the conviction should be based on the evidence of probative value that makes the judge feel true to the extent that there is no reasonable doubt. Therefore, if there is no such evidence, the suspicion of guilt is between the defendant, even if there is no such evidence.

Even if there is no choice but to judge the interests of the defendant.

(See Supreme Court Decision 2006Do735 Decided April 27, 2006, etc.). Article 115 of the Public Official Election Act provides that no one shall make, or have another make, a contribution to an election for a candidate (including a person intending to become a candidate) or a political party (including a preparatory committee for the formation of a new political party) to which he/she belongs.

In such cases, contributions shall be made by disclosing the name of a candidate or a political party to which he/she belongs.
