2. Judgment on the misapprehension of legal principles

In a case where a defendant’s crime constitutes a single comprehensive crime, several acts or continuous acts falling under the same criminal name are continuously committed for a certain period under the criminal intent of a single and continuous criminal intent, and the benefit and interest of the damage are identical, each of such acts shall be punished by a single comprehensive crime (see Supreme Court Decision 2010Do8272, Jan. 27, 201). According to the evidence duly adopted and investigated by the court below and the trial court, the following circumstances are recognized.

① On August 29, 2015, the Defendant commenced the illegal game room business by leasing the first place of business around August 29, 2015. However, during the continuation of the business, the said place was too weak, and the lessor’s excessive M&D was transferred to the second place of business on September 1, 2015.

(2) The second place of business is located at a place less than 600 meters away from the first place of business, and the defendant used 18 game flags used at the first place of business as they are in the second place of business.

③ The Defendant operated his business in the same manner with regard to money exchange, commission, etc. at a single place of business and a second place of business, and operated a mixed person without any person who helps to conduct his/her business.

In light of the above legal principles, the Defendant continued to commit a crime under a single and continuous criminal intent, and the damaged legal interests also have been promoted by the game industry and a healthy game culture of the people.
