The defendant's appeal is dismissed.

1. The main point of the grounds for appeal is that the lower court’s punishment (one year and six months of imprisonment, two years of suspended execution, fines of 44 million won, additional collection of 22 million won) is too unreasonable.

2. The judgment appears to have recognized and reflected the crime of this case, the fact that the defendant returned a bribe received prior to the commencement of the investigation, and the fact that the defendant seems not to proceed to an illegal act after receiving the bribe is considered to have been going to do so. However, the crime of this case is deemed to have significantly damaged the fairness in budget handling of the Do Council budget and the trust in the general society regarding the fairness in the process of budget affairs of the Do Council budget and the indiciability of the Do Council's duties, the amount that the defendant received is 22 million won, the amount that the defendant uses another's account in order to conceal the above amount, etc., and it is not good that the punishment of the court below is too unreasonable in light of all sentencing conditions indicated in this case, such as the defendant's age, character and conduct, environment, the circumstances and result of the crime of this case, and the circumstances after the crime, etc., the above argument of the defendant is without merit.

3. In conclusion, the defendant's appeal is dismissed in accordance with Article 364 (4) of the Criminal Procedure Act since it is without merit. It is so decided as per Disposition.
