On September 4, 2008, the Defendant entered into a contract on the transfer of the entire shares of Nonindicted Co. 5 with Nonindicted Co. 3 to acquire the shares of Nonindicted Co. 6 at KRW 20 billion. On September 8, 2008, the Defendant entered into an additional agreement on Nonindicted Co. 6’s payment of KRW 7 billion and KRW 11 billion with advance payment to Nonindicted Co. 6 to lend the above shares immediately (hereinafter “instant share purchase agreement”). During the process of the instant share purchase agreement, the Defendant did not immediately enter into the said agreement with Nonindicted Co. 6 as KRW 2 billion and did not accept the terms and conditions of the above share purchase agreement to the Defendant under the name of the said advance payment.

E.

Nonindicted Co. 3 borrowed KRW 4 billion from Nonindicted Co. 3’s account on September 11, 2008, and immediately deposited KRW 4 billion to Nonindicted Co. 3’s account under the name of Nonindicted Co. 6, and the Defendant immediately borrowed the said money from Nonindicted Co. 6.

G. Each evaluation report by the above accounting firm is based on the Future Cash Flowing Discount Act (DCF), and was premised on the evaluation of the future profit value of ○○○ on the premise of uncertainty on the future, and was premised on the ○○○’s exclusive supply of ready-mixeds in Alba project, a development plan for Alba city, the outer range of Albama City.

(k) Nonindicted Co. 3 was unable to pay in full the sales balance of the said share purchase agreement to Nonindicted Co. 6, and thus, was not transferred 30% of the ○○ ownership owned by Nonindicted Co. 5 or Nonindicted Co. 5.

3. Determination

A. The intention of the crime of occupational breach of trust is established in combination with the perception that the person handling another's business affairs causes property damage to the principal and that the intention of his or her or a third party's pecuniary gain is in violation of his or her duties. The subjective element of the crime of occupational breach of trust (such as intention, motive, etc.) is that in a case where the defendant denies the criminal intent by asserting that the defendant committed an act at issue for his or her own interest, it shall be proved by the method of proving indirect facts that have considerable relevance to the intention in light of the nature of the object, and what constitutes indirect facts that have considerable relevance should be determined by the method of reasonably determining the link of the fact by using a close observation or analysis power based on normal empirical rule. Even if the defendant had the intention of seeking for his or her own interest, it is only incidental to the above indirect facts, and if it is proved that the defendant's intent to gain or gain was the principal (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2004Do7027, Nov. 9, 2006).

Meanwhile, even if the management of a company has made a prudent decision with the belief that it would conform to the interests of the company collected in good faith and without any intent to take personal benefits, the risk inherent in the management of the company may lead to the occurrence of losses to the company. Thus, even in such a case, the company cannot be held liable for the crime of occupational breach of trust by relaxing the interpretation standard regarding intentional act. However, the company's financial situation at issue or the possibility of incurring losses and acquiring profits from such act on the basis of the information collected within a reasonable extent, without carefully examining all the circumstances, such as the economic situation of the company in question or the possibility of acquiring profits from such act, in order to escape from the situation where the company or the manager is difficult due to political reasons, it is reasonable to view that there was an intentional act of occupational breach of trust if the representative director, etc. of the company has intentionally committed the act in violation of his duty and caused the company to purchase shares of another company at a higher price, and the amount of damages to the company is not equivalent to 200,000,000.

나. 위와 같은 법리에 비추어, 위 인정 사실들에 의하여 인정되는 다음과 같은 사정, 즉 ① 2008. 12. 31. 현재 공소외 5 주식회사의 자산은 ○○ 지분 30%가 유일한 것이었고 매출실적도 전혀 없었으므로, 공소외 5 주식회사의 가치는 ○○ 지분의 가치에 의해 평가함이 상당한바, 공소외 5 주식회사의 당시 재무제표 상으로도 ○○ 지분 30%를 9억 5,000만 원 상당으로 평가한 점, ② ○○가 2008. 9. 30. 자본금을 변경 등록하여 지분 30%에 해당하는 자본금을 37억 원 상당으로 평가하고 있으나, 이는 공소외 5 주식회사가 지불한 주식 매입대금 10억 원으로 설비, 장비 등을 구입하기로 하고 이를 장부상 평가하여 기재한 것이므로, 실제 가치는 여전히 10억 원 상당에 불과하다고 보이는 점, ③ 공소외 5 주식회사가 2008. 9. 10. 현재 ○○ 지분 30%에 대하여 100만 달러 중 40만 달러밖에 지불하지 않은 상태였고, 나머지 지분 인수대금은 2009. 4. 10.에서야 모두 지급하는 등 피고인이 이 사건 지분매수계약을 추진할 당시 공소외 5 주식회사가 ○○ 지분 30%를 완전히 취득한 상태라고 보기 어려운 상태였음에도 피고인은 2008. 8. 24.경 공소외 6과 사이에 공소외 5 주식회사의 양수도 대금을 200억 원으로 정한 기본합의서를 작성한 점, ④ 피고인이 이 사건 지분매수계약 대금을 공소외 6에게 먼저 제시하는 과정에서 별다른 협상의 노력이 있었다고 보기 어려운 점( 공소외 6도 피고인이 먼저 거액의 매매대금을 제시하여 놀랐다고 진술하고 있음), ⑤ 피고인은 이 사건 지분매수계약의 계약금을 처음에는 70억 원으로 정하였다가 매매대금의 증액이 없는데도 계약금 70억 원과 선급금 40억 원 합계 110억 원을 지급하였고, 이는 통상의 거래보다 현저히 많은 규모의 계약금 내지 선급금인 점(피고인은 공소외 6과 사이에 주식회사 공소외 4 주식회사를 인수하여 아이란꼴 유전 등 개발 사업을 하고자 하는 합의가 있었기 때문이라고 주장하나, 앞서 본 바와 같이 피고인은 증액된 40억 원을 차용하여 금호종합금융으로부터 차용한 금원을 변제하는 데 사용한 점에 비추어, 위와 같이 선급금을 받은 이유는 피고인이 추가로 자금이 필요하였던 것으로 보인다), ⑥ 피고인은 공소외 6에게 계약금 및 선급금 명목으로 110억 원을 지급한 다음 즉시 이를 공소외 6으로부터 차용하여 모두 피고인과 관련된 채무를 변제하는 데 사용한 점, ⑦ 공소외 12가 삼정회계법인과 삼덕회계법인의 ○○ 지분에 대한 감정평가를 위하여 제공한 자료는 정확한 생산량을 확인한 자료가 아닌데도, 위 회계법인의 각 평가보고서는 위 자료의 신뢰성 및 진실성에 대한 실사 및 검토를 거치지 않은 채 제공된 자료를 근거로 추정 가치를 산정해 준 것에 불과하다고 보이는 점, ⑧ 삼덕회계법인의 주주지분가치 평가보고서 작성자 공소외 14는 삼덕회계법인의 보고서는 공소외 5 주식회사가 ○○에 투자를 하여 ○○ 지분을 취득하는 데 참고자료로 제시하기 위해 작성된 것이고 제3자가 공소외 5 주식회사 소유의 지분을 인수하는 과정에서는 이용될 수 없다고 진술하고 있는 점, ⑨ 위 회계법인의 각 평가보고서는 미래에 대한 불확실성을 전제로 하여 ○○의 장래수익가치를 평가한 것이므로 실제 가치와 중요한 차이를 보일 수 있음을 공인회계사인 피고인이 충분히 인식할 수 있었던 점, ⑩ 각 평가보고서는 ○○가 알마티시 외곽의 신도시 개발계획인 알가바스 프로젝트에 레미콘을 독점 공급하는 것을 전제로 하고 있으나, 피고인은 이 사건 지분매수계약 당시 ○○가 실제 독점 공급계약을 체결한 사실이 없고 이후에도 진행되지 않았다고 자인하고 있는 점, ⑪ 공소외 14 회계사가 작성한 평가보고서는 2008. 9. 9. 이전에 카자흐스탄을 방문한 사실이 전혀 없음에도 불구하고 평가보고서에 본사 및 공장이 소재한 카자흐스탄 알마티를 방문하여 실사한 것으로 기재하는 등 사실과 다른 부분이 존재하는 점, ⑫ 피고인은 공소외 14와는 대학 동문으로 1997년경 같이 공인회계사 시험준비를 하면서 알게 된 친밀한 사이이고, 삼정회계법인에서 근무한 경력이 있는 점 등을 종합하여 보면, 피고인은 공소외 5 주식회사와 공소외 7 사이에 ○○ 지분 30%를 100만 달러에 거래하도록 주선하는 등 그 가치 등을 잘 알고 있었으면서도, 이보다 월등히 높은 가격인 200억 원을 매매대금으로 제시하여 계약을 체결하고 계약금 및 선급금으로 110억 원을 지급함으로써 임무위배행위를 하였고, 이로 인하여 피해자 공소외 3 주식회사에 재산상 손해를 가하고 공소외 6으로 하여금 재산상 이득을 얻게 한다는 인식이 있었다고 충분히 인정되므로, 피고인 및 변호인들의 위 주장은 이유 없어 이를 받아들이지 아니한다(이 사건 지분매수계약을 체결하면서 ○○ 지분 30% 가치 평가액이 150억 원에 미달하는 경우 이 사건 지분매수계약을 무효화하기로 하는 조항을 삽입하였다는 점만으로 피고인에게 배임의 범의가 없다고 볼 수 없다).

Reasons for sentencing

0 Scope of punishment: Imprisonment with prison labor for up to two years and six months, and one year and three months.

○ Although the Defendant was well aware of the relevant laws and regulations as certified public accountants and certified tax accountants, it appears that the instant crime was committed, and during the instant crime, it would have disturbed economic order due to corporate acquisition by failing to repay a considerable amount of the borrowed money from gold comprehensive finance, Nonindicted 6, etc., and the amount of damages caused by the instant crime is large. Ultimately, the amount of damages caused by the instant crime would have an impact on small shareholders of Nonindicted Co. 2, a KOSDAQ-listed company as the parent company of Nonindicted Co. 3, and the amount would have an impact on the small shareholders of Nonindicted Co. 2, a KOSDAQ-listed company. As the Defendant requires the funds to be used for private purposes, even if the unlisted Co., Ltd. acquired the unlisted Co., Ltd. under the pretext of personal profits by directly receiving the acquisition amount under the pretext of the acquisition amount, and caused damages to the company itself, it cannot be deemed that the ordinary circumstances, such as the fact that the unlisted company’s mistake was not divided, and the act

○, however, the fact that the Defendant repaid most of the embezzled money, and after the Defendant was prosecuted, Nonindicted Co. 2 was subject to examination of delisting, and the Defendant renounced the representative director and the right of management for the normalization of Nonindicted Co. 2’s business, and arranged that the Defendant, the creditor, lost his right to the shares of Nonindicted Co. 2, which he held directly or through Nonindicted Co. 1, by exercising the right of pledge, and thus, the listing of Nonindicted Co. 2 is maintained. In the case of the violation of the Securities and Exchange Act, the Defendant lent money to Nonindicted Co. 1, the principal shareholder with the ability to pay, and the actual damage was almost rare, and the elements of sentencing prescribed in Article 51 of the Criminal Act as stated in the arguments, such as the Defendant’s age, character and conduct, home environment, and circumstances before and after the crime

2. Violation of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Economic Crimes (Fraud);

A. Summary of the facts charged

On June 19, 2008, the Defendant entered into a contract to acquire management rights and 18 billion won of shares of Nonindicted Co. 2 from Nonindicted Co. 9 and 23 in the major shareholder, and the automobile business division of Nonindicted Co. 2 was transferred to Nonindicted Co. 9 about 5 billion won, exercising management rights, and the Defendant agreed on a spin-off contract to conduct overseas resources development business at the Seoul office of Nonindicted Co. 2. The Defendant was from September 2008 to not participate in the said automobile business division at all, and received KRW 3.5 billion in total as advance payment for the transfer of the automobile business division.

As above, the Defendant: (a) received demand for repayment of KRW 14 billion loans borrowed from the gold comprehensive financial institution for the purpose of raising funds for acquiring management rights of Nonindicted Co. 2; (b) there was no way to repay the loans; and (c) at the Seoul office of Nonindicted Co. 2 Co., Ltd. operated by the Defendant, there was no way to repay the loans; and (d) the overseas resources development business was not well-run, and (e) obtained a technology credit guarantee certificate from the victims of the Korea Technology Credit Guarantee Fund

However, since the issuance of a technology credit guarantee certificate guarantees the loan of driving funds related to technology development for small and medium enterprises running a new technology business, if the defendant applies for the issuance of a true letter of guarantee, the defendant could not be issued a certificate of guarantee. The defendant continues to operate the automobile business sector, has the technology for the development of eco-friendly parts using the complex materials, and has the technology for the development of eco-friendly motor vehicles using the complex materials, and has the intent to issue a guarantee by deceiving the Korea Technology Finance Corporation as if he applies

Around March 30, 2009, the Defendant issued a technology credit guarantee certificate of KRW 2.85 billion in the amount guaranteed from Nonindicted 25 to Nonindicted 25, on the ground that the Korea Technology Credit Guarantee Fund (hereinafter “Korea Technology Credit Guarantee Fund”) issued a false technology credit guarantee certificate of KRW 3 billion to Nonindicted 25, who is in charge of issuing a technology credit guarantee certificate of the Korea Technology Credit Guarantee Fund affiliated with the Korea Technology Credit Guarantee Fund (hereinafter “Korea Technology Credit Guarantee Fund”) to the employees in charge of issuing the technology credit guarantee certificate of KRW 2.85 billion in the amount to be used for the purchase, etc. of raw materials necessary for the manufacture of automobile parts of Nonindicted Company 2.”

Accordingly, the defendant deceptioned the Victim Technology Evaluation Center and obtained a technology credit guarantee certificate equivalent to KRW 2.85 billion from the victim, thereby acquiring property profits equivalent to the same amount.

B. The gist of the defendant and his defense counsel

In the process of obtaining a credit guarantee certificate equivalent to KRW 2.85 billion from the Korea Technology Credit Guarantee Fund, the Defendant did not request the Korea Technology Credit Guarantee Fund to use the loan only for the automobile business sector. In the process of issuing a guarantee certificate from the Korea Technology Credit Guarantee Fund, there is no specific fact that the use of the loan is “the loan is to be used for the purchase of raw materials necessary for the manufacture of automobile parts.” At first, the Defendant was planned to use the loan of KRW 7 billion as operating funds and the purchase funds for automobile business. However, upon the reduced size of the loan, the Defendant was granted a loan of KRW 3 billion with the operating fund when the loan was reduced, so it cannot be deemed that the Defendant was issued a guarantee certificate by deceiving the Korea Technology Credit Guarantee Fund. In addition, in order to spin-off the automobile business sector in Nonindicted Co. 2, the Defendant applied for a credit guarantee certificate without going through a resolution of the board of directors, procedures for protecting creditors, etc., and without going through it, the automobile business sector was issued with the consent of Nonindicted Co. 9, each of Nonindicted Co. 2.

C. Facts of recognition

The following facts can be acknowledged according to the witness’s statement in the third trial record, Non-Indicted 9’s statement, Non-Indicted 24, 25 of the witness’s statement in the 7th trial record, each protocol of examination of the defendant prepared by the public prosecutor, each protocol of examination of the suspect against Non-Indicted 9, 15, and 20 of the witness in the 4th trial record, each protocol of statement by the public prosecutor against Non-Indicted 9, Non-Indicted 9, 15, and 20, letter of commitment (1st page 41), agreement (1st page 41), copy of substitution slip (1st page 46), supporting documents (2nd page 656), supporting documents (3rd page 176), purpose of use of funds (4rd page 184-187th page), statement of execution of funds (4rd page 1880-1903), statement of commitment (4rd page 2035), Non-Indicted 2035 pages 4219-2319(39).

(1) On July 8, 2008 and August 28, 2008, the Defendant agreed to acquire the shares and management rights of Nonindicted Company 9 and 23 (hereinafter “Nonindicted Company 9, etc.”) from Nonindicted Company 2, the controlling shareholder of Nonindicted Company 2, and that Nonindicted Company 1 established by the Defendant and the Defendant shall take over the shares and management rights of Nonindicted Company 16 billion won. However, on November 6, 2008, Nonindicted Company 9, etc. agreed to take over the existing business division of Nonindicted Company 2 (including the parts of personnel, physical facilities, and automobile business division) for the manufacturing and selling business of the cars and other parts run prior to the above contract, or that a third party designated by Nonindicted Company 9, etc. may take over the shares and management rights of Nonindicted Company 2 under the pretext of Nonindicted Company 9’s representative director. The Defendant, along with the above agreement, prepared an independent promise to receive the existing assets transfer from Nonindicted Company 2, 2008 to Nonindicted Company 30 billion won on the day of receiving the shares transfer.

(2) Around February 2009, Nonindicted 9 et al. knew of the fact that the Defendant intended to obtain a loan with the instant credit guarantee certificate, but the Defendant’s business could not spin-off the automobile business sector due to the difficulty of the Defendant’s business. As such, Nonindicted 9 et al. sent an electronic note stating that the Defendant would not participate in the instant loan application on the premise that the Defendant’s loans are not related to the automobile business sector, and that the obligation to guarantee the technology credit guarantee is not succeeded to a split-off company that will become a spin-off in the future.

(3) In fact, on March 27, 2009, Nonindicted 9 et al. prepared a letter of undertaking to deduct the succeeded amount from the acquisition amount of the divided company’s KRW 5 billion when the liabilities of Nonindicted 2 Co. 2 were succeeded to a new company, and cooperation was made by employees of the Korea Technology Credit Guarantee Fund to visit the classified factory, which is a factory of Nonindicted 2 Co. 2.

(4) When the Korea Technology Finance Corporation issues a technology credit guarantee statement, it will evaluate the technical feasibility, feasibility, and reliability of the applicant company, and to prepare for the non-indicted 2 corporation's failure to repay the loan after issuance of a guarantee certificate, it has importantly examined not only the technology but also the feasibility and reliability, and as a result, the evaluation rating of the non-indicted 2 corporation was the BB grade exceeding the BB grade of the letter of guarantee by obtaining a high score in the process

(5) The Defendant complied with the procedure of going through a resolution of the board of directors of Nonindicted Co. 2 with respect to the instant loan.

(6) At the time of March 2009, Nonindicted Co. 2 had no loan obligation, and Nonindicted Co. 2 had sufficient ability to repay the net asset value of Nonindicted Co. 2’s total assets with total assets of KRW 3.5 billion, sales amount of KRW 25.7 billion, and liabilities with convertible bonds of KRW 2 billion, etc. from financial institutions.

(7) Around November 2009, Nonindicted Co. 2 established a collateral security right on a well-known factory owned by Nonindicted Co. 2 with sufficient collateral value in relation to the instant credit guarantee to the Korea Technology Credit Guarantee Fund.

(8) The purpose of using the funds initially presented by Nonindicted Co. 2 to the Korea Technology Credit Guarantee Fund is to set up as at the time when the loan was KRW 7 billion. However, after changing the loan to KRW 3 billion, the use of the funds at the time of submitting a funding plan to the Korea Technology Credit Guarantee Fund was deemed as driving funds, such as purchase of raw materials. The Korea Technology Credit Guarantee Fund’s guarantee of the Korea Technology Credit Guarantee Fund stated the use of the funds as

(9) The amount of KRW 2.85 billion loaned from a corporate bank was used in the wages for employees of Nonindicted Co. 2, Ltd., office rent, loan interest payment, etc., and the Defendant did not use it individually.

(10) Nonindicted Co. 2 did not delay interest on the amount borrowed from a corporate bank, and the Korea Technology Credit Guarantee Fund did not take measures, such as revoking the instant credit guarantee for Nonindicted Co. 2 or revoking it.

(11) Meanwhile, in the process of issuing a technology credit guarantee certificate, Nonindicted Co. 2 requested the Korea Technology Credit Guarantee Fund to receive the technology credit guarantee certificate from Nonindicted Co. 27 who operated Nonindicted Co. 26 and Nonindicted Co. 28 who had worked for the Korea Technology Credit Guarantee Fund. Nonindicted Co. 27 stated that “The 5% of the loans will be changed because it would be asked to obtain the technology credit guarantee certificate from the Korea Technology Credit Guarantee Fund through Nonindicted Co. 28, who was the applicant of the Technology Credit Guarantee Fund, to obtain the technology credit guarantee certificate, and then the Defendant received the technology credit guarantee certificate from Nonindicted Co. 27 as a branch office other than the Korea Technology Credit Guarantee Fund, and received the technology credit guarantee certificate of KRW 2.5 billion on March 30, 2009, 300,000 from the above technology credit guarantee certificate of KRW 2.5 billion on the same day, 200,000 from the Korea Technology Credit Guarantee Fund’s imprisonment for the business of KRW 26.7 billion on April 1, 20009.

D. Determination

In issuing the letter of credit guarantee in this case, it is examined whether there was a deception of the defendant and whether there was a criminal intent to acquire the defendant.

In light of the following circumstances acknowledged as follows, i.e., ① an internal physical division agreement on Nonindicted Stock Company 2 between the Defendant and Nonindicted Stock Company 2 and Nonindicted Stock Company 9, etc., the former controlling shareholder of the Defendant and Nonindicted Stock Company 2, but Nonindicted Stock Company 2 still continued to have been a single company. As such, it is difficult to deem the Defendant to have an obligation to notify the existence of physical division agreement and its contents with Nonindicted Stock Company 9, etc., ② as the Defendant applied for the issuance of a technology credit guarantee certificate, it is difficult to deem that the Defendant was aware of the usage as it was driving funds and used as operating funds, ③ even if there was a problem related to the large volume complex data among the loan-related documents submitted by Nonindicted Stock Company 2, even if there was a problem in the light of the foregoing facts, it is difficult to recognize that the technical income portion was partially reduced, and it was difficult to obtain evaluation above Grade B or higher, which is the standard for issuing the credit guarantee certificate, and the Korea Technology Credit Guarantee Fund did not have any intent or ability to receive the loan from Nonindicted Stock Company 22.

3. Conclusion

Therefore, among the facts charged in the case of this case, the violation of the Commercial Code, the fact that the public electronic records, etc. are recorded falsely, the fact that the exercise of false entry, public electronic records, etc., and each charge of violation of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Economic Crimes (Fraud) constitutes a case where there is no proof of crime

It is so decided as per Disposition for the above reasons.
