Summary of Judgment

[1] Although the entire Public Official Election Act was made for the purpose of preventing illegal elections (Article 1 of the Public Official Election Act), Article 113(1) of the Public Official Election Act prohibits all contributions in light of the fact that the status of the National Assembly members, local council members, heads of local governments, representatives of political parties, candidates and their spouses, who are themselves political parties or are closely related to politics, are prohibited from being involved in all contributions, and therefore, it is reasonable to deem that such acts do not require election relations such as language and text.

Reasons

1. Issues;

Defendant 5 did not have to demand the payment by proxy of the fine for negligence. Defendant 4, 6, 7, and 8 did not have to demand the payment by proxy of the fine for negligence, and Defendant 4, 6, 7, and 8 argued that Defendant 1 did not have any relation to the election by proxy (excluding Defendant 4) and there is no relation to the election by proxy (excluding Defendant 4).

Therefore, the issues of the instant case are as follows: (a) whether Defendant 1’s contribution act violates the Public Official Election Act; (b) whether Defendant 2 recommended Defendant 1 to make contribution; (c) whether such contribution act is related to election; (d) whether Defendant 3 was aware of the fact that Defendant 1 paid an administrative fine by proxy; (e) whether Defendant 5 demanded payment of an administrative fine by proxy to Defendant 1; and (e) whether Defendant 4, 6, 7, and 8’s contribution act is related to election; and (e) if the facts charged are proved to be guilty, a sentence shall be determined appropriately within the statutory scope.

C. Determination as to the Defendants’ assertion

(1) Defendant 1 and his defense counsel asserted to the effect that Article 113(1) of the Public Official Election Act was made for the purpose of preventing improper elections and the purpose of its enactment is to limit the object of donations to the persons located in the relevant constituency. Thus, Defendant 1’s act of paying fines for negligence on behalf of Defendant 1 cannot be punished because it is irrelevant to the election.

However, the purpose of Article 113(1) of the Public Official Election Act is to prevent unfair elections (Article 1 of the Public Official Election Act), but the purpose of Article 113(1) of the Public Official Election Act is to prohibit all contributions by considering that the status of the National Assembly members, local council members, heads of local governments, representatives of political parties, candidates and their spouses is in itself or are closely related to politics. Accordingly, it is reasonable to view that all contributions are prohibited by considering that there is an election relation, and accordingly, they do not require election relation such as the language and text.

Therefore, the issue of whether Defendant 1’s act of paying the administrative fine of this case is related to the election or whether Defendant 1 violated the duty of election neutrality is not affected by the establishment of the crime of this case, and thus, the above assertion is rejected without further review.

(2) Defendants 2, 4, 6, 7, 8 and their defense counsel asserted that the act of receiving contributions or donations by the said Defendants is not related to election.

The following indirect facts can be acknowledged in light of such indirect facts. In light of such indirect facts, the term "election" as provided in Article 113 of the Public Official Election Act, "the purpose of election campaign", "the purpose of election campaign", and "the election" can be acknowledged as being related to the election in the Seo-gu Seoul Metropolitan City, Daegu Metropolitan City (Seoul Metropolitan City 1 through 7, 1996, 198, 2004Do5298, March 25, 2005, 2005, 2004Do5298, etc.) where the above defendants were related to the election in question, such as inducing or borrowing the pertinent election even if the election campaign was not carried out for the purpose of election campaign," and "the purpose of election campaign" to influence the election (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 96Do405, Jun. 14, 1996; 204Do5298, Mar. 25, 2005).

(A) March 26, 2007, March 26, 2007, the date of the instant administrative fine, is close to April 25, 2007, a re-election day.

(B) Defendant 2’s primary duty is to encourage other workers on duty for election campaign as the head of the Seo-gu Seoul Metropolitan City Council for Party Members. Defendant 2 has requested other former and present workers on duty including the Defendants who received a donation through the payment of administrative fines in lieu of administrative fines to the other party members.

(C) Defendants 6 and 8 who received the instant donation shall attend the meeting of the General Council of Party Members or the Chairperson of the Seo-gu Council of Party Members held each month to deliver the direction of the Party to the party members residing in each Dong, and maintain a friendly relationship with the party members, and shall conduct various public elections, if they look at various public elections, they shall publicize the same candidate to the neighboring electorates, encourage the women's president, youth president, and the party members appointed in each Dong to participate in the same election, and inform the candidates of the trend of information and public opinion about the various meetings held in each Dong, and they shall also play the role of informing them of the trend of information and public opinion. Defendants 3, 5, 4, and 7 also play the above role for the period of time during which they are engaged in the general affairs of the Council of Party Members. At present, Defendant 3 had contact with the residents of the above Dong-ri, 7 Dong-dong, 7 Dong-dong, 7 Dong-dong, and 7 Dong-dong with the residents of the above region.

(D) At the time of the instant crime, Nonindicted 4’s support, a candidate for Hanra, was a more serious situation in which the support by Nonindicted 4 was behind Nonindicted 5, a candidate for the instant crime, to which he was affiliated, the former and incumbent workers on duty.

(E) Defendant 1’s accusation against Nonindicted 3, the chief secretary, was subject to a fine for negligence, and at the time, the complaint of the former and current workers on duty including the Defendants who received the instant donation was raised.

5. Both punishments;

In addition to the common sentencing grounds, such as the defendants' age, occupation, character and conduct, intelligence and environment, motive, means and consequence of the crime, circumstances after the crime, etc., the punishment shall be determined by comprehensively taking the following special circumstances into account (e.g., reasonable circumstances, unfavorable circumstances, and other circumstances):

(a) Objectives, etc. of the Public Official Election Act;

(A) People, including political parties, shall voluntarily participate in the election and voluntarily support the election. The protected legal interest of election crimes is the freedom of election and the fairness of election, and the Public Official Election Act aims to promote the self-equition and voluntary support of election campaigns, and acts contrary thereto are subject to intervention in the Public Official Election Act even if they are internal issues of the political party.

(B) The reason why the Public Official Election Act prohibiting an act of donation or donation and punishing a person in violation of this Act lies in securing the self-refensive and voluntary support of an election campaign that is not related to the act of donation (such as provision of money, goods, and other property benefits, expression of intent to offer benefits, or promise to provide them) and restricting an election or election campaign based on property benefits. Therefore, if a person receives a contribution or donation contrary to the self-refensive and voluntary support of an election campaign, it constitutes

(c) actively or actively receiving contributions shall bear the same responsibility as contributions.

(D) The Public Official Election Act provides various provisions in order to guarantee the initiative and voluntary support of election campaigns, and allows a certain offender to isolate the offender from society for a certain period of time, taking into account the principle that restricts the right to vote and the right to be elected for a considerable period of time. However, even if the degree of infringement on the freedom of election, the fairness of election, and the autonomy of election campaigns is significant and reasonable, a punishment against the offender may be selected depending on his/her responsibility.

(E) Although Nonindicted 4, who is a candidate for Hannaa, was not elected as a Si Council member, the Defendants’ act was not significant, and as a result, it cannot be deemed that the degree of infringement of self-determination of election campaigns is less severe, the remaining Defendants except Defendant 8 choose a punishment in which the right to vote and to be elected are restricted. Furthermore, the prosecutor has expressed the opinion that there is a need to sentence some Defendants at the sentencing level, but even if the remaining Defendants, other than Defendant 8, who were convicted, are sentenced to the restriction on the right to vote and to be elected, are determined to have the effect of general prevention as above, so the Defendants are not subject to choice of punishment isolated from society for a certain period of time.

(b) Common matters:

(A) The sum of the money contributed by Defendant 1 and 2 is relatively large to KRW 35.4 million. Defendant 1 included KRW 35.5 million, which Defendant 2 received as a reward for reporting an election crime, in which Nonindicted 3 received as a reward for reporting an election crime.

(B) Although reporting Nonindicted 2’s violation of the Election Act should be encouraged as a legitimate act, and the person who committed such act should be protected, it would rather cause that the public opinion on Defendant 1, etc. was created and that the person liable to pay the fine for negligence actively demanded the payment of the fine for negligence was an important cause for the instant crime.

(C) Defendant 2 paid an administrative fine on April 25, 2007 to re-election, but in the re-election, the above re-election was not a candidate for Nonindicted 4, who was not a candidate for Hanra, but a candidate for Nonindicted 5, who was not a candidate for Hanra, was elected.

(D) Defendant 3 and 5 directly demanded Defendant 1 to pay an administrative fine, while Defendant 4, 6, 7, and 8 did not directly demand Defendant 2 to pay an administrative fine in lieu of the administrative fine.

(E) Although the Defendants were unable to fully recognize the seriousness of their acts or the self-effortness of election campaigns, they are against all the results therefrom, and they are acting or living in good faith in each of their respective positions and homes.

(f) Defendants who are sentenced to a fine should pay additional charges corresponding to the money they received in addition to the fine.

(G) The act of contribution by Defendant 1 and 2 does not actively increase the assets of Defendant 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, and the effect of reducing their assets was generated.

(c) Individual matters;

(1) Defendant 1

(A) Even if a person did not actively lead the payment of fines for negligence, he/she is the head of the Gu classified as an important politician under the Public Official Election Act and actively prepared a relatively large amount of KRW 35.5 million.

(2) Defendant 2

(A) Even if a person did not actively lead the payment of a fine for negligence, he was requested to pay the fine for negligence on behalf of the head of the secretariat of the Seo-gu Incheon Metropolitan City Council for Party Members and actively used 35.4 million won, which was received from Defendant 1, for the payment of the fine for negligence.

(B) Only the power of having been sentenced to a fine of KRW 700,000 in violation of the Road Traffic Act in 198.

(3) Defendant 3

(A) Defendant 1, the head of Seocho-gu, actively demanded the payment of an administrative fine on behalf of the head of the Gu, and the amount of KRW 10 million paid on behalf of the head of the Gu is relatively large.

(B) The past record, including the past record of having been sentenced to a fine of KRW 700,00,000 in violation of the Road Traffic Act in 199, has been sentenced to a fine and a suspended sentence.

(4) Defendant 4

(A) Although the person did not actively demand the payment of an administrative fine by proxy, the person was obligated to pay the administrative fine by proxy, and the amount of 8.1 million won paid by proxy is relatively large.

(B) Only the power of having been sentenced to a fine of KRW 700,000 for the crime of injury in 201.
