Judgment of the lower court

Seoul Criminal Court of the first instance (74 High Court Decision 74Gohap375)

Text

The judgment of the court below is reversed.

A defendant shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than one year and six months.

One hundred and seventy days out of the detention days prior to the declaration of the original judgment shall be included in the above sentence.

However, the execution of the above punishment shall be suspended for two years from the date of the final decision.

The sentence of a fine against the accused shall be suspended.

The charge of violation of the Punishment of Tax Evaders Act and embezzlement shall be acquitted.

Reasons

The summary of the grounds for appeal by the defendant's defense counsel is as follows: first, although the defendant was in the form of a representative director of the non-indicted 1 corporation at issue in this case, the representative director could not perform his duties, the defendant cannot be held liable for criminal liability even if he failed to pay the traffic fees specified in the facts charged. Even if the defendant did not use the funds of the above company for its original purpose, it cannot be held liable for embezzlement unless it was used for the above company. However, the court below found the defendant guilty of all the facts charged against the defendant, and it is erroneous that the judgment of the court below erred in misunderstanding the facts and misunderstanding the legal principles of embezzlement, and thus, it cannot be reversed in this regard. Second, the judgment of the court below is improper because the sentencing of the court below is too too unreasonable. The summary of the grounds for appeal by the prosecutor is that the sentencing of the court below is too unreasonable.

First of all, as to the assertion of mistake of facts regarding the above traffic tax payment, the defendant stated the facts from December 1970 to April 30, 1973 that the representative director of the non-indicted 1 corporation and the non-indicted 1 corporation were the head of the above corporation's mutual aid association, or considering various evidences duly examined by the court below and the judgment of the defendant (in particular, the testimony of the non-indicted 2), the defendant is holding office as the representative director from December 1970 to August 1973, but the non-indicted 3 was unable to properly examine the above company's business from January 1, 1973 to April 30, 1973, and the defendant cannot be held liable for the above non-indicted 4 and 5's business affairs to the non-indicted 3 corporation's representative director, who was the non-indicted 3 corporation's representative director and the non-indicted 4 corporation's representative director, and he cannot be held responsible for the above non-indicted 3 corporation's business affairs.

Therefore, the court below erred by misapprehending the facts that the defendant was guilty on the whole amount of the traffic tax stated in the facts charged, and this affected the conclusion of the judgment. Therefore, the appeal by the defendant is with merit.

As to the embezzlement of the following facts charged, if it is clear that the defendant does not consume the funds of the above company by using the funds of the above company even if based on the facts charged itself, and it is combined with the legitimate evidence investigated by the court below and the court below, the defendant, a creditor of the above company, committed a provisional seizure of the vehicles belonging to the above company in order to receive a loan to the above company, so it can be acknowledged that the defendant first paid the company's debt by dividing the money stated in the facts charged into three times and paying it to the non-indicted 6, and if so, the defendant does not constitute the so-called embezzlement.

Nevertheless, the court below's finding the defendant guilty of embezzlement among the facts charged against the defendant is clear that the court below erred by misunderstanding the facts or by misapprehending the legal principles of embezzlement, which affected the conclusion of the judgment. Therefore, the appeal against this point is also justified.

Therefore, the judgment of the court below is reversed in accordance with Article 364(6) of the Criminal Procedure Act, and the members are again decided as follows after pleading.

guilty Part

The facts constituting a crime: The defendant is the representative director of the non-indicted 1 corporation and the person in the position of the president of the above company's Mutual-Aid Association from January 12, 1970.

However, the defendant's failure to pay the above passage tax was due to the reason that he would temporarily cover the above company's emergency purpose such as installment payment, etc., and then due to the fact that the defendant's failure to pay the above passage tax, together with additional tax, paid the unpaid passage tax in full, etc. Thus, the defendant shall be punished by imprisonment with prison labor for not more than one year and six months and fine for not more than 6,100,000 won and by applying Article 57 (1) 3 and 6 of the Criminal Act to the punishment of imprisonment with prison labor for not more than 170 days prior to the sentence under Article 57 of the Criminal Act, and the above sentence of imprisonment with prison labor for not more than 260 years shall be suspended.
