The appeal is dismissed.

The grounds of appeal are examined.

For the reasons indicated in its holding, the lower court convicted the Defendant of the charges, and confiscated the No. 20 to 28 of the evidence seized by the Defendant, and additionally collected KRW 83 million from the Defendant.

The judgment below

Examining the reasoning in light of the relevant legal principles and evidence duly admitted, the lower court did not err in its judgment by exceeding the bounds of the principle of free evaluation of evidence against logical and empirical rules, or by misapprehending the legal doctrine on confiscation and collection.

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