All appeals filed by A, B, C, and E and prosecutor are dismissed.
Reasons
Summary of Grounds for Appeal
In light of the fact that the Defendants distributed the instant leaflet in a systematic manner at a time prior to the election day, etc., the Defendants constitute a crime of aiding and abetting candidates, even though the Defendants constituted a crime of aiding and abetting candidates, on the grounds that the Defendants constitute a crime of aiding and abetting candidates, because they constitute a case where the private interest is recognized as an important motive to criticize and support the candidates rather than a public interest to provide correct information to the electors.
The sentence of the lower court against the Defendants (Defendant A: fine of KRW 2 million, and KRW 500,000,000 for the remaining Defendants) is too unhued and unreasonable.
