The appeal is dismissed.

The grounds of appeal are examined.

The judgment below

Examining the evidence duly admitted by the court of first instance, which maintained the reasoning of the court below, it is just that the court below imposed a penalty of KRW 1,380,00,000 on the defendant when it found the defendant guilty on the grounds stated in its reasoning. Contrary to the allegations in the grounds of appeal, the court below did not err by misapprehending the legal principles on the admissibility and probative value of the suspect examination protocol, the admissibility and probative value of the suspect examination protocol, and the calculation of additional charges, which affected the conclusion of the judgment, by failing to exhaust all necessary deliberations, thereby exceeding the bounds of the principle of free evaluation of evidence in violation of logical and empirical rules, or by misapprehending the legal principles on the admission of facts beyond the bounds of the principle

Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
