All appeals filed by the defendant and prosecutor are dismissed.
Reasons
Summary of Grounds for Appeal
Defendant
The Defendant, on November 29, 2015, did not introduce the M to the effect that “M is the chairman of the E-political Party Cooperation Party in the E-political Party. It is a part of the National Assembly member election in the year.”
In addition, M was subject to a disposition by the prosecution as to the suspected fact of being subject to an advance election campaign against the above eight persons at the time and place.
Nevertheless, the court below erred in finding the defendant guilty of a third party's contribution act for M.
Punishments (fines 800,000) sentenced by the court below of unfair sentencing are too unlimited and unfair.
The punishment sentenced by the court below by the public prosecutor is too uneasible and unfair.
Judgment
In full view of the evidence duly adopted and examined by the court below claiming the misunderstanding of facts and misapprehension of legal principles, the fact that the defendant made a contribution as a local council member as well as the fact that the defendant made a contribution for M to be a candidate for the 20th National Assembly member in relation to the election of the 20th National Assembly member as stated in the court below'
Meanwhile, according to the records, it is acknowledged that M was subject to a disposition by the prosecutor that he was suspected of having committed a prior election campaign at the time of this case, but the third party's contribution act as provided in Articles 257 (1) 1 and 115 of the Public Official Election Act is punished for the relevant contributor, and it is not established only in the case where it is recognized that the donationr and the candidate or the person who wishes to be the candidate are recruited. The above circumstance alone does not obstruct the recognition that the defendant made a third party's contribution act.
Therefore, since there cannot be any error in the fact-finding or judgment of the court below, this part of the defendant's assertion is without merit.
Each of the defendant and prosecutor's arguments on unfair sentencing.
