Nevertheless, in order to assist in the election of C by having C attend a meeting of “D” (including 12 members and 2 non-members) in which the Defendant is working, and raising C’s personal guidance, the Defendant provided C with food and drinks, such as C, H, I, J, K, L, M, N,O, P, Q, Q, and 11 members R, and two members, such as S, at a “F restaurant located in “F”, at around 18:00 on October 30, 2018 during the period subject to the restriction on contribution to the election of the president of the cooperative, and provided C, a partner, C, and T, a non-member, to pay the total of KRW 16,17,100,100,17,17,17,000,000,000,000 won, including, but not limited to, 13 members.
Since '171,00 won ± 16 persons ± 111 = 117,562 won (or decimal point)' should be excluded from defendant, C, T, R, and S from among participants to calculate the total amount of donations made to electors.
The Defendant, during the contribution-restricted period, made contributions to B for C, a candidate in relation to the election of the president of the B association.
