All appeals are dismissed.

The grounds of appeal are examined.

1. Although examining the reasoning of the lower judgment on the grounds of Defendant A’s appeal based on evidence, the lower court found Defendant A guilty of violating the Agricultural Cooperative Act with respect to M and P among the facts charged in the instant case, and did not err by misapprehending the bounds of free evaluation of evidence in violation of logical and empirical rules, contrary to what is alleged in the grounds of appeal.

2. On the grounds of the prosecutor’s appeal, the lower court affirmed the first instance judgment that acquitted Defendant A on the grounds that there was no proof of the crime regarding the violation of the Agricultural Cooperative Act against H and I among the facts charged in the instant case against Defendant A and the facts charged in the instant case against Defendant B.

The judgment below
