The appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal are examined.
Article 33 subparag. 1 and Article 12(1)2 of the Mid-Term Management Act apply to a person who is a mid-term owner. However, Article 36 of the same Act applies to a representative of a corporation, or an agent, employee, or other worker of a corporation or natural person who commits an act falling under any of Articles 32 through 35 in connection with the business of the corporation or natural person, not only shall the offender be punished, but also the corporation or natural person shall be punished by a fine under each of the Articles. The purpose of this provision is to punish both the former and the latter even if the corporation or individual who is a mid-term owner does not directly commit an act in violation of each of the provisions of this Article is to punish both the former and the latter (Article 33 subparag. 1 and Article 12(1)2 of the same Act). Thus, the penal provisions of each of the preceding Articles apply to a middle-term owner (Article 91Do801, Nov. 12, 191; 200Do3984, Feb. 198, 198).

Therefore, the prosecutor's appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
