Judgment on the Defense Counsel's argument
With respect to the facts charged in the judgment of the Defendants, the current Political Fund Act provides a penal provision in cases where political funds are used for private expenses. However, at the time of the crime in this case, the ownership of support funds belongs to the National Assembly member concerned. Thus, the above facts constituting an offense are not committed. However, in full view of the purport of the provisions of the former Political Fund Act (amended by Act No. 6516 of September 27, 2001), which was applied at the time of the crime in this case, a supporters’ association is a separate organization that is distinct from a member of the National Assembly, and a member of the National Assembly can use support funds only through the process of receiving a contribution from a supporters’ association. Thus, the act of withdrawing and using support funds without going through such procedures shall be deemed to constitute an offense of occupational embezzlement.
