Prosecutor and Defendant

Busan District Court Msan Branch Court Decision 71 High Court Decision 220

The judgment of the court below is reversed.

A defendant shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than eight months.

The number of days under detention prior to the pronouncement of the original judgment shall be included in the original sentence.

The seized male colons (No. 1), 105 female colons (No. 2), and 15 female colons (No. 2) shall be confiscated from the accused.

검사의 항소이유의 요지는 피고인은 죄질이 나쁠 뿐 아니라 개전의 정이 희박하므로 원심양형은 너무 가볍다는 것이고, 피고인의 항소이유의 요지는 피고인은 재일교포가 자기부모에게 갖다 주라고 주는 것을 죄 되는 줄 모르고 한 짓이며 아니라해도 원심형은 너무 무겁다는 것이므로 먼저 직권으로 살피면, 관세법 182조 2항 에 의하면 관세법 179조 내지 181조 의 죄의 미수범은 본죄에 준하여 처벌한다고 규정되어 있으므로 위 법조 위반죄의 미수범에 대하여는 미수 감경을 할 수 없는 바, 원심은 피고인에게 관세법 182조 2항 , 180조 1항 을 적용하면서 형법 25조 2항 에 의한 미수감경을 한 것은 법률적용을 잘못하여 판결결과에 영향을 미친 허물이 있으므로 원심판결은 이 점에 있어서 부당하므로 파기를 면치 못할 것이고, 기록을 통하여 피고인이 초범이고 미수에 그친 사실과 기타 형법 51조 에 규정된 양형의 조건인 여러 정상을 참작하면 피고인에 대한 원심양형이 상당하고 너무 무겁거나 가볍다고 보여지지 아니하므로 양형부당의 점은 그 이유없다.

Therefore, the judgment of the court below shall be reversed and the party members shall be decided again under Article 364 (6) of the Criminal Procedure Act.

The criminal facts and the trial of evidence against the defendant are the same as the judgment of the court below in addition to the defendant's attitude of the statement in the trial of the court of the defendant in the evidence, and they are cited by Article 369 of the same Act.

In light of the law, the court below's judgment falls under Articles 182 (2) and 180 (1) of the Customs Act, and since there are reasons for selecting a prison term among the prescribed penalty and taking into account the circumstances thereof, the defendant shall be punished by imprisonment for up to 8 months within the scope of the prison term to be mitigated under Articles 53 and 55 (1) 3 of the Criminal Act, and the 80 days of detention prior to the declaration of the judgment of the court below shall be included in the principal sentence under Article 57 of the same Act, and the 1 and 2 of the seized articles are owned by the defendant as the articles provided for the crime of this case, so they shall be confiscated from the defendant under the latter part of Articles 182 (2) and 180 (1) of the Customs Act.

It is so decided as per Disposition.
