Recognized.
B. Determination as to the existence of subrogation claim
1) Determination as to the existence of a claim for return of unjust enrichment
A) The unjust enrichment system imposes an obligation to return money on an benefiting party based on the ideology of fairness and justice in cases where the benefiting party’s financial gain lacks legal cause. However, in cases where the obligor uses the money embezzled by the victim to repay his/her obligation to his/her creditor, it is reasonable to deem that the obligee’s acquisition of money has legal cause in relation to the victim, unless it is maliciously or with gross negligence as to the fact that the money was embezzled while the obligee received repayment. Such legal principle also applies to cases where the obligor donated the money embezzled to a third party (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2011Da74246, Jan. 12, 2012)
B) As seen in the basic facts, as if there was no substantial transaction between △△ Industry and △△ Industry, 51,232,00 won was issued as if there was a transaction, and 501,120,000 won was deposited into the account of △△△ Industry, and thereafter, 500,000 won was deposited into the Defendant’s account among the above 501,120,000 won was deposited into the Defendant’s account. Such an act of 00 won was either embezzled all the above 551,232,00 won in relation to △△△ Trade, or embezzled KRW 50,500,000 deposited to the Defendant. In addition, without any reason, △△△△△△△’s above act should also be deemed as having been donated to the Defendant’s account, and △△△△△△ KRW 500,500,0000,000,000,000 won was paid to the Defendant.
According to each statement of evidence Nos. 18, 24, and 25, the defendant entered △△△ in around March 2014 and was in charge of the overseas affairs of the company, New Zealand, etc., from around April 2014 to about December 5, 2014, and was married with static0 on December 5, 2014, and the static00 was unfairly received a false tax invoice without a real transaction from July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2015.
May 2016 under the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Crimes (taxes), etc. that were refunded.
1.3.2.2.3.2. 1. 2. 1. 2. 1. 2.
The fact that the defendant is investigating, from March 31, 2015 to December 2014 of the same year, is employed as an employee in charge of overseas affairs, such as New Zealand in △△ Trade, and exports refined 00 et al. and old traps.
After re-import of the goods as they are exported, the import declaration amount higher than the export declaration amount;
foreign action, such as New Zealand, to the extent that the difference between the remittance amount of the export payment and the amount of the export payment after reporting;
1. Accomer’s participation in the capital flight of 100 property by means of remitting money to an account in the name of the second Pacomer.
C. The suspension of indictment for the violation of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Economic Crimes (property flight outside Korea)
Facts of receipt of the disposition are recognized.
However, the following circumstances are revealed by taking account of the aforementioned evidence and the overall purport of the pleading.
In light of the above facts, the above facts alone are only KRW 552 million deposited to the defendant by 00 million.
The Defendant knew or did not know by gross negligence that this amount was embezzled by 00
It is difficult to recognize it and there is no other evidence to recognize it.
① Around December 2014, the Defendant did not work for the first time in △△ Trade before being married with △△△ in December 2014. The Defendant appears to have been simply involved in the management of the property escape from New Zealand under the direction of 00 even at the time when the Defendant worked for △△ Trade. Therefore, it is difficult to readily conclude that the Defendant was aware of the fact that the Defendant was aware of the fact that there was a transaction between △△ Trade and △△△ Industry, and that there was a transaction between △△△ Industry and △△△ Change Industry by paying the money equivalent to the above tax invoice to △△△ Industry.
② At the time of remitting KRW 52,00,000 to the Defendant’s account, the deposited person’s name was not the trade of △△ or dives industry, but the deposited person’s name was 100.0
③ Although the money deposited into the Defendant’s account is the larger amount of KRW 552 million, the money was deposited to the Defendant so that most of the said money was used to rent an apartment building to be used as a residence with the Defendant. Meanwhile, given that △△ Trade representative director and △△△ representative director and the actual operation of the knives industry, it is difficult to view that the Defendant knew or could have known that the said money was illegally prepared solely on the ground that the amount of money deposited is large.
C) If so, the Defendant’s receipt of KRW 52 million from 00,000 from 552 million cannot be deemed as unjust enrichment in relation to △△ Trade.
2) Determination as to the existence of damage liability arising from joint tort
The evidence submitted by the Plaintiff in light of the various facts and circumstances described in sub-paragraph (b) above.
They are not enough to recognize that the defendant jointly participated in the embezzlement of 00.
There is no evidence to acknowledge otherwise. Accordingly, the Defendant is liable for damages caused by embezzlement.
shall not be deemed to have any objection.
4. Conclusion
Therefore, all of the plaintiff's claims are dismissed as it is without merit. It is so decided as per Disposition.
