Reasons
1. Summary of grounds for appeal;
A. Defendants
1) misunderstanding of facts or misapprehension of legal principles
A) Part on the violation of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Crimes (Mediation) by Defendants 1, 2, and 3
(1) Whether the crime of good offices is established
(A) The crime of good offices taking place is established when another person acts as a broker, and the defendant is a substantial project undertaker of the ○○○-scopic exhibition business (hereinafter “instant business”), but the court below, which deemed another person’s business as another person’s business on the ground that the business, such as casino experience centers, which is part of the instant business, is conducted by the defendant 5 (the defendant 4).
(B) The fact that the defendant received 2 billion won from the defendant 5 (the defendant 4) is only the expenses necessary for the promotion of the project, and that the defendant's decision is erroneous in matters of fact that it is not the expenses for the solicitation or mediation related to the authorization and permission.
(2) The public recruitment relationship and the legality of collection by Defendant 2 and Defendant 3
(A) The Defendants only introduced Defendant 5 ( pursuant to the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Crimes (Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Crimes) to Defendant 1, and there was no conspiracy for Defendant 1 to commit the crime.
(B) The Defendants received KRW 60 million from Defendant 1 and KRW 40 million are the name of the office establishment cost and operating expenses set up in ○○○○ to carry out the instant business, or are under the pretext of transportation expenses used to return to and from Daejeon to ○○ and Seoul for carrying out the instant business. Nevertheless, the lower court’s collection of each of the above amounts from the Defendants is unlawful.
B) Violation of the Attorney-at-Law Act and attempted fraud by Defendant 3
On April 18, 2011, the Defendant knew that Defendant 5 (Defendant 4: Defendant 5) was arrested by embezzlement to the Daejeon District Public Prosecutor’s Office, and attempted to recommend an attorney-at-law through the offender, and there is no fact that Nonindicted Party 2 deceivings Nonindicted Party 2 to acquire KRW 100 million or requests money under the pretext of intermediation.
C) The part concerning the offering of bribe by Defendant 4 in violation of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Crimes (Bribery) and Defendant 5 (Counterparty 4)
(1) On the renewal of a criminal intent: Defendant 4, Defendant 5 (Counter-board: Defendant 4)
Defendant 4’s free lease of an apartment bond (hereinafter “the apartment house of this case”) from Defendant 5(Defendant 4) is an act of offering property benefits on or around March 201. Therefore, Defendant 4’s act of offering property benefits is completed by taking account of the fact that the criminal intent of giving property in breach of trust was renewed due to the preparation and delivery of the formal lease contract for the apartment of this case on or around July 2011, considering that the criminal intent of giving property in breach of trust was renewed due to the preparation and delivery of the formal lease contract for the apartment of this case, and thus, Defendant 4’s crime of violating the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Crimes (Bribery) and Defendant 5 (Defendant 4) constitutes each crime of offering bribe to Defendant 4.
(2) The method for calculating the amount of profit: Defendant 4
The amount of property gains in the crime of bribery must be calculated by the most favorable method to Defendant 4. Therefore, even though the amount of the loan interest and the amount equivalent to the loan of KRW 150 million, which is the market price at the time of the crime, should be calculated by the profit amount, the calculation of the profit amount by the method of calculating the monthly rent without the deposit constitutes an erroneous determination of facts
D) The part on Defendant 6’s fraud
On February 25, 2011, the Defendant had the ability to implement an agreement with the ○○○○○○○○○ Do governor related to the instant business, and was actually obligated to perform the instant business and the obligations under the agreement. However, the Defendant was failed to perform the business due to the occurrence of the subsequent event, and at the time of receiving the money from the victims, the Defendant did not have the intention to acquire the money.
E) Defendant 7’s fraudulent part
At the request of the victims, there is only a fact that the victims and the defendant 6 have mediated to the south of the victims, and there is no fact that the victims have conspired with the defendant 6 or by deceiving the victims.
2) Unreasonable sentencing (Defendants)
The sentence of the court below is too unreasonable.
(b) Conducting inspections (unfair punishment);
The sentence of the court below against the defendant 6 and the defendant 7 is too unhued and unfair.
2. Determination
A. Judgment on misconception of facts or misapprehension of legal principles
1) Part on the violation of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Crimes (Mediation) by Defendants 1, 2, and 3 (hereinafter “Defendant 1, etc.”)
A) The judgment of the court below
Based on the evidence duly admitted and examined, the lower court determined that Defendant 1 received money from Defendant 5 (Defendant 4) under the pretext of arranging various kinds of permits and permits related to the instant project, such as the drums and casino experience center, and that Defendant 2 and Defendant 3 committed the crime of taking good offices in collusion with Defendant 1.
(1) Consideration for the solicitation or intermediation related to authorization or permission
Defendant 1, among the projects included in the instant project to Defendant 5 (Large: Defendant 4), puts emphasis on the relationship with ○○○ Governor and the influence on the public officials of ○○○○○. Defendant 5 (Defendant 4) agreed to guarantee exclusive business rights, such as a casino visitor center, to the purport that the amount paid by Defendant 5 (Defendant 5: Defendant 4) will be used as a voiced money used for the promotion of the project. Defendant 5 (Defendant 4: Defendant 4) may be deemed to include the nature of funds necessary for the promotion of the project in addition to the arrangement act remitted to Defendant 1. However, since the nature of the funds necessary for the promotion of the project as a consideration for the arrangement act of KRW 2 billion and the nature of funds necessary for the promotion of other projects are indivisible, the entire arrangement act has the nature of an indivisible nature as consideration for the arrangement act.
(2) Other person's business;
Since the subject of the instant project is Main SPC, Defendant 1 cannot be deemed to be the subject of the project, and Defendant 1 also recognized that Defendant 1 did not intend to participate in the instant project as an investor or a manager, and Defendant 1’s business, such as the casino experience center, etc., whose business was conducted by Defendant 5 (PP: Defendant 4) after obtaining authorization and permission, is the business conducted by Defendant 1, and Defendant 1 cannot be deemed to have a business relationship with Defendant 5 (PP: Defendant 4).
(3) The public offering relationship between Defendant 2 and Defendant 3
Defendant 2 and Defendant 3 made a statement to the effect that “non-funds” or “business promotion expenses,” etc. need to be granted to Defendant 5 (Defendant 4: Defendant 4) in order to guarantee business rights, such as casino experience centers, Defendant 1 and Defendant 3 performed a certain role in the crime of intermediary taking measures, such as gathering opinions from Defendant 5 (Defendant 4), and Defendant 1 received part of the money received from Defendant 5 (Defendant 4: Defendant 1: Defendant 4) and distributed or promised to receive part of the share of Core PC, which was guaranteed by Defendant 5 (Defendant 4).
B) Determination of the immediate deliberation
(1) Relevant legal principles
The crime of arranging or taking over money or goods is established under Article 3 of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Crimes. It generally refers to a crime of offering or receiving money or goods under the pretext of arranging matters belonging to the duties of a public official. As such, the term "mediation" in the above crime refers to an act of delivering the intention of a party to a certain matter to the public official, or helping a decision to be made in the direction of a party at his/her request or by exercising influence upon the public official's request or exercising influence on a certain matter belonging to the duties of a public official (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 201Do1354, Jan. 12, 2012). In such cases, a public official's duties include a legitimate act of performing duties, and there is no need to specify the counterpart or content of mediation, and if a person receives money or goods under the pretext of mediation as above, regardless of which actually arranging it is established (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2010Do1354, Jan. 12, 2
Meanwhile, “Referral of matters falling under the duties of public officials” under Article 3 of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Crimes shall be for another person’s business, other than for himself/herself (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2010Do2554, Apr. 29, 2010). Where the defendant concludes a partnership agreement with another person and conducts business activities against a public official in order to achieve the common purpose in the partnership relationship, it may not be deemed as referral for another person’s business. However, if the partnership agreement merely has the form or appearance to facilitate the referral of the defendant, it shall be deemed as referral for another person’s business, other than the defendant (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2013Do464, Aug. 23, 2013).
(2) Determination as to whether good offices are arranged or not
According to the evidence duly adopted and investigated by the court below and the trial court, the following circumstances may be recognized:
(A) Summary of the instant project
① On October 18, 2010, Defendant 1 was commissioned as an “investment inducement adviser” by the ○○ Do Governor, and the private business entity was attracting a total of KRW 13,600,000,000 from ○○○ Do to lease KRW 5,100,000 from ○○ Do, and requested for the instant business to build a complex tourism complex. The instant business was implemented by means of civil and government joint development, and ○ Do was in charge of various types of authorization and permission, approval, legal fiction, and necessary legislation, and the private business entity was to acquire the organization of a consortium and development gains by function. The instant business was one of the important business activities at the time of ○ ○ Do’s special business report, which was held on February 2, 2011, to the extent that it would be stated in the major business promotion plan for 2011.
② On January 21, 2011, Defendant 1, as the proposer, submitted the instant project proposal to ○○○ by designating Nonindicted Co. 7, Ltd. as the proposer. On February 17, 2011, Defendant 1 completed the registration of incorporation of Nonindicted Co. 7 with the capital KRW 500,000,000, Defendant 6 as the representative director, and continued to undertake the instant project as the actual operator of Nonindicted Co. 7.
③ After submitting the proposal for the instant project to the ○○○○○○○, Nonindicted Co. 7 held a meeting of the Private Investment Inducement Committee on February 11, 201, held a deliberation of the ○○○ Government Coordination Committee on February 21, 2011, and prepared a public letter on February 28, 2011, to prepare for the efficient implementation of the instant project, such as preparing a preparation for the implementation of the instant project by preparing a plan for supporting the complex complex development (department by department). However, in preparation for the failure of the project, Nonindicted Co. 7 decided to proceed with the instant project in the direction of removing the problems caused by the suspension of the project, etc.
④ ○○○ and Nonindicted Co. 7 entered into an agreement on February 25, 2011. The content stated that Nonindicted Co. 7 established a special purpose company (Main SPC) that directly implements the instant business before December 31, 2011. The agreement states that “○○do provides investment incentives through the designation, etc. of an investment promotion zone if it satisfies the future complex development project requirements.”
(B) The reasons why Defendant 1 received KRW 2 billion from Defendant 5 (Defendant 4)
① Defendant 1 instructed Defendant 2 to color “investors” of the instant business through Defendant 2, and was introduced through Defendant 3 around October 2010.
② Defendant 5 (Defendant 4) first known of the instant project through Defendant 3; Defendant 1, etc. agreed to invest a total of KRW 2 billion in the instant project after hearing the explanation from Defendant 1, etc.; Defendant 1, on November 29, 2010, sent Nonindicted 5’s participation in the project to the ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○.
③ Defendant 5 (Defendant 4): (a) uneasy to give additional money to Defendant 1; and (b) on January 16, 2011, Defendant 1 met Nonindicted 5’s Do governor with Defendant 1, and (c) remitted KRW 1 billion from January 27, 2011 to February 10, 201.
④ At the time when Defendant 5 (Defendant 4: Defendant 4) delivered KRW 1 billion for the first time on December 28, 2010, there was no express mentioning that Defendant 1, etc. have the right to conduct a pilot project or a casino experience center business, and there was no indication to the same effect as the said letter of undertaking. Even if it is based on the recording on January 201, 201, Defendant 1, etc. made a statement to the effect that Defendant 1, etc. enacted ordinances for the business of the casino experience center, etc. or grants money to the Governor. However, it is not found that Defendant 1, etc. made a statement to the effect that Defendant 5, etc. will act as the independent business of Defendant 5 (Defendant 4: Defendant 4) and the relevant public official, such as the Governor, etc., and Defendant 5 (Defendant 4: Defendant 4) will act as intermediary or convenience.
⑤ The reasons why Defendant 5(Defendant 4) paid KRW 2 billion to Defendant 1 are consistently stated that Defendant 1’s business rights was guaranteed to Defendant 5 (Defendant 4) upon obtaining the permission of the instant business. Specifically, Defendant 5 (Defendant 4) stated that Defendant 1’s business status was the investment attraction adviser who received from Defendant 1’s ○○ Do governor, and Defendant 1 paid the money in return for Defendant 1’s business rights by conducting a subjective business as Defendant 1’s share price and Defendant 2). Thus, it is difficult to deem that Defendant 5 (Defendant 4: Defendant 4) had the intent to solicit for mediation for the authorization and permission of the instant business.
6. Defendant 5 (Defendant 4) was unable to accurately know the procedures and details of the instant project, in addition to the main contents to obtain casino business rights in return for the amount of KRW 2 billion paid by himself upon completion of the instant project.
7) Defendant 5 (Defendant 4) received a loan certificate from Defendant 1 on March 30, 201 as a guarantee measure for the amount paid to Defendant 1 on March 30, 201. At this time, Defendant 5 (Defendant 4) was at the time when the business was in progress, and as such, Defendant 5 (Defendant 4: Defendant 5: Defendant 4) was deemed to have had the intention to receive a loan certificate in order to guarantee the loss of investment, and Defendant 5 (Defendant 5: Defendant 4) appears to have thought that the purpose of receiving the loan certificate was to receive the loan certificate was to contribute to the investment of KRW 2 billion at the time of giving money in the court of first instance. Defendant 5 (Defendant 4: Defendant 5) also stated that there was no explicit friencing or agreed on the operation of the Co PC model, and that Core PC was made after this agreement was concluded with ○○○○.
【 Defendant 1 stated to Defendant 5 (Large Market: Defendant 4) that Defendant 1 had no time to undergo environmental impact assessment over a long-term period since it is a business that must immediately commence the said drums and casino experience programs. Defendant 1 stated to the effect that this project is directly involved in the Do’s interest, not pure private business, and thus, that Defendant 5 (Large Market: Defendant 4) told Defendant 5 (Defendant 5: Defendant 5) that “The Do Governor trusts 5 Do governor and talks with the Do Governor on the business plan and authorization, etc.,” and it is difficult to view that Defendant 5 (Large Market: Defendant 4) will arrange the affairs related to the authorization, permission, etc. of Defendant 5 (the 000 Do public official).”
9) In light of the process of the instant project, the details of the investment made by Defendant 5 (Counter-board: Defendant 4) and the record of the recording, and the letter of undertaking, among the statements made by Defendant 5 (Counter-board: Defendant 4) in the investigative agency and the court of the court of the court below, it is reasonable to view that the statements made by Defendant 1 as an intermediary for authorization and permission of the business right are ex post facto leap in line with the elements of mediation and acceptance after the failure of the instant project, and that part of the statements made by Nonindicted 2 in the court of the court of the court below by the witness 2 was known of the fact that the Defendant 5 (Counter-board: Defendant 4) knew of the fact that the Defendant 5 (Counter-board: Defendant 4) was paid the money after the first 1 billion won, and it is difficult to have value as independent evidence.
(C) Sub-decisions
As seen earlier, “mediation” generally means that a certain person and the other party make good offices or convenience, and there is an intention between the two parties to arrange another person’s business. However, in light of the above circumstances, Defendant 1 does not intervene in the intermediary for good offices between Defendant 5 (Defendant 4) and 000. However, it is reasonable to deem that Defendant 1, in the process of carrying out the business as the principal agent of the instant project, was paid money from Defendant 5 (Party 4: Defendant 4) under the name of the investment money of the instant project, and in return, the business right (the business right also means not only Defendant 5 (Party 4: Defendant 4), but also the business right of Defendant 5 (Party 4: Defendant 4) (the business right is also the form of sharing shares with Defendant 1, etc.) such as casino experience center.
(3) Determination as to whether a person's business is another person
(A) Issues
The crime of violation of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Crimes (Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Crimes) is a provision punishing a person who gives or receives money, valuables or other benefits under the pretext of arranging affairs handled by a public official. Since the meaning of "mediation" itself is so arranged that another person's work is well-grounded, the act of mediation must be for another person's work (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decisions 2005Do7050, Apr. 14, 2006; 2010Do2554, Apr. 29, 2010). Whether Defendant 1's work for implementing the business of this case and the casino business of a non-indicted 1 corporation, which Defendant 1 promised to Defendant 5 (Defendant 4) may be deemed a separate work, respectively, and whether Defendant 1 and Defendant 5 (Defendant 4) can be deemed to have established the non-indicted 1 corporation under the business agreement.
(B) Relationship between Defendant 1’s affairs and the business of Nonindicted Company 1’s casino experience center
In full view of the following circumstances, Defendant 1’s business affairs may be deemed to include the business affairs that enable Nonindicted Co. 1 to carry out the casino experience center business.
① The instant project is divided into the entire project and the “Pilot complex project.” The entire project is a business established and implemented by Main SPC. The “Pilot complex project” is an individual project implemented immediately prior to the implementation of the entire project, and the authorization and permission to operate the “Pilot complex project” is in the name of Core PC, namely, the main project executor of the core project. The instant project itself was planned to proceed over a large scale and phase, and may vary depending on the results of the demonstration complex project, the demonstration complex project may be deemed part of the initial part of the entire project.
② Defendant 1’s duties are composed of Main SPC for the success of the entire project, and the early project funds were returned from the date of the occurrence, and Defendant 1’s duties were carried out with intent to be entitled to participate preferentially in the Sub SPC. However, it is reasonable to deem that Defendant 1’s duties, other than the official position, play a role in leading the project as a proposer of the project as a whole.
③ Defendant 1, while practically operating Nonindicted Co. 7, ordered Defendant 2, Defendant 3, etc. to form the office of ○○○○○, and led to attracting investors. Defendant 1 given part of the amount received from Defendant 5 (Defendant 4) to Defendant 2 and Defendant 3 respectively as office operating expenses and transportation expenses. In light of a real estate lease agreement and a purchase receipt for computers, etc., the fact that they used the money in line with this purpose is recognized, and it appears that they engaged in the business for the progress of the instant project.
(C) Whether Defendant 1 and Nonindicted Company 1 work together
① Since there is no special legal limitation on the type of the partner’s investment under the same trade agreement, not only the property rights, such as money, but also the provision of labor. Even if Defendant 5 (Defendant 4): Defendant 5’s statement was based on Defendant 4, Defendant 1 agreed that Defendant 1 shall have a general responsibility for operating the casino business. In addition, Defendant 1 shall have a 49% share of the non-indicted 1 corporation without compensation, but Defendant 1 shall have a bad faith to return all the investment money received from Defendant 5 (Defendant 4: Defendant 1: Defendant 4) within six months without any condition (Article 11 of the Declaration), and thereafter, if Defendant 1 was to take advantage of the profit by running the casino experience business, etc., it shall be allocated profits according to the share of ownership (it shall not be deemed that there was no voting right even if the shares held by Defendant 1 are available). Accordingly, Defendant 1 and Defendant 5 (Defendant 4: Defendant 4) shall be acknowledged as having reached an agreement on the burden of profits and losses.
② Defendant 1 received 49% of the shares of Nonindicted Co. 1 established by Defendant 5 (Defendant 4: Defendant 1) in return for the operation of Nonindicted Co. 1 corporation between 2-3 and Defendant 1’s success, and Defendant 1 stated that Defendant 1 attempted to divide this share into “public-private partnership.” Defendant 1 had an intention to use and dispose of the shares of Nonindicted Co. 1 corporation in a voluntary manner according to his economic interest.
③ In light of the fact that Defendant 1 established Nonindicted Co. 7, the PM company of the instant business, and listed Defendant 6 as the representative director on the name of the instant company, carried out the business in substance, held 49% of the shares of Nonindicted Co. 1 in the name of the borrower, and promised to take overall control of the business for a certain period, etc., Defendant 1 alone cannot be readily concluded that the said business contract was merely in the form or appearance to facilitate Defendant 1’s good offices solely on the ground that he was in the position of the investment attraction adviser or the business coordination officer, or that he refused to take measures to operate the business with respect to Core PC.
(4) Determination as to Defendant 1
According to the above, the charge of violation of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Crimes against Defendant 1 constitutes a case where there is no proof of a crime regarding the fact that Defendant received money under the pretext of mediation of another person's business.
(5) Determination as to Defendant 2 and Defendant 3
Defendant 2 played the role of introducing Defendant 5 (Defendant 4) to Defendant 1 through Defendant 3, and Defendant 5 (Defendant 4: Defendant 5: Defendant 4) made it possible for Defendant 1 to deliver KRW 2 billion to Defendant 1 by excessively explaining the prospects of the instant project.
However, Defendant 2 and Defendant 3 did not directly receive KRW 2 billion; Defendant 2 and Defendant 3 received KRW 60 million from Defendant 1 among these money; however, this money was fully used as actual expenses for the progress of the instant project; there was no other benefit for Defendant 2 and Defendant 3; Defendant 2 and Defendant 3 did not waive their occupation and work; Defendant 2 and Defendant 3 did not establish an office for the implementation of the instant project at ○○○○○○○ under the direction of Defendant 1; in light of their work, they appeared to have been aware that the instant project was jointly supervised by Defendant 1 with ○○○○○○○○○; Defendant 3 did not appear to have introduced Defendant 1 with his intention to arrange, but it was difficult to recognize that Defendant 2 and Defendant 3 did not have any objective explanation of Defendant 4: Defendant 2 and Defendant 4, who did not appear to have provided an independent explanation to Defendant 1.
However, as seen earlier, there is no proof of criminal facts against Defendant 1 in violation of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Crimes (Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Crimes). Thus, there is no proof of criminal facts against Defendant 1 and Defendant 2 and Defendant 3 who were prosecuted for committing the crime.
(6) Sub-committee
Ultimately, Defendant 1, Defendant 2, and Defendant 3 cannot be deemed to have received money from Defendant 5 (Defendant 4) under the pretext of arranging the public official with respect to another person’s business, and there is no other evidence to acknowledge this part of the facts charged. Thus, this part of the Defendants’ assertion is with merit.
B) Violation of the Attorney-at-Law Act and attempted fraud by Defendant 3
원심 및 당심이 적법하게 채택·조사한 증거들을 종합하여 인정되는 다음과 같은 사정 즉, 공소외 2는 이 부분 공소사실에 대하여 구체적이고, 일관되게 진술하고 있는데 반하여, 피고인 3의 진술은 일관성이 없고, 진술 자체의 설득력도 떨어지는 점, 공소외 2가 다른 변호사를 통하여 안양지청장 출신 변호사가 ■■지검 차장검사를 만나고 간 사실이 있는지 확인해 보기도 한 사실이 인정되는 점 등을 종합하면, 피고인이 공소외 2로부터 공무원이 취급하는 사건에 관하여 알선 한다는 명목으로 1억 원을 받기로 약속하였다고 본 원심의 판단은 정당하므로, 피고인 3의 이 부분 주장은 이유 없다.
C) The part concerning the offering of bribe by Defendant 4 in violation of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Crimes (Bribery) and Defendant 5 (Counterparty 4)
(1) The judgment of the court below
In full view of the evidence duly admitted and examined, Defendant 5 (Defendant 4) can be recognized as having committed a crime of giving property in breach of trust because Defendant 4 was in the position of the private capital inducement member at the time when he provided the apartment building in this case to Defendant 4 without compensation. However, the lower court determined that Defendant 4 can be recognized as having committed a crime of giving property in breach of trust since the act of preparing a formal lease contract on the apartment in this case, after being designated as the president of Nonindicted 4 Corporation around July 201, 201, was performed by Defendant 4, who was aware that Defendant 4 would provide the apartment in this case without compensation after acquiring the public official qualification, and thus, the criminal intent of giving property in breach of trust can be recognized as having been renewed as a crime of bribery and offering, and since it can be recognized as having been paid for the provision of the apartment without compensation and business relationship in light of Nonindicted 4’s business affairs.
(2) Judgment of the court below
(A) Whether to renew the criminal intent
Defendant 4 started to use the apartment of this case provided without compensation from Defendant 5 (Defendant 4) when he is a private capital inducement committee member, thereby committing a crime of giving property in breach of trust. We examine whether the crime of bribery and giving property is established by changing Defendant 4’s status to Nonindicted 4’s president, a quasi-public official, although there was no change in the above use status.
In a case where the unity and continuity of a criminal intent are not recognized in a continuous crime with no change in the elements of a crime, or where the method of committing a crime is not the same, the renewal of a criminal intent is recognized and the crime before and after the crime is established separately (see Supreme Court Decision 2007Do8645, Nov. 11, 2010; 2007Do8645, Nov. 11, 2010). Such renewal of a criminal intent can be recognized among crimes with different elements of a crime. Thus, if the status of a criminal in breach of trust is changed to a public official while the benefit is continuously enjoyed and provided due to a crime in breach of trust, even if there is no change in the status of enjoying and providing benefit, if both parties are aware of such change in status and expressed their intent to continue such situation, the crime in breach of trust is cut off by itself, and a new crime of acceptance of bribe and offering of bribe is established through the renewal of the criminal intent.
According to the evidence duly adopted and examined by the lower court, Defendant 4 was determined as the president of Nonindicted 4 Corporation on July 201, and prepared a formal lease contract to register his property with Defendant 5 (Defendant 4) as property at the time of registration of public official’s property, and Defendant 5 (Defendant 4: Defendant 4) continued to provide an apartment without compensation without demanding Defendant 4 to prepare a lease contract and pay the lease deposit accordingly. Furthermore, according to the evidence duly adopted and examined by the lower court, Nonindicted 4 corporation is a local public enterprise established to carry out business such as information and marketing on tourism, tourism products, and development of tourist resources, and thus, it can be recognized that it can carry out business activities such as tourism promotion and marketing in relation to the instant business, and thus, its relevance to business relations can be recognized).
Ultimately, the act of preparing the above lease contract has reached the renewal of the criminal intent by expressing and expressing the criminal intent to continue the free use and provision of apartment in connection with his duties while recognizing the changes in the status of Defendant 4, and the judgment of the court below is justified.
(c) Calculation of any property interest received;
The crime of violation of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Crimes (Bribery) is one of the constituent elements of the crime, and accordingly, the amount of the bribery in the crime of bribery is subject to strict proof (see Supreme Court Decision 2009Do4391, Aug. 20, 2009).
The lower court calculated the profits equivalent to the rent in relation to the apartment of this case by adding the minimum monthly tax amount during the period from July 18, 2011 to April 30, 2014, among the “the calculation details of the amount of monthly rent converted into the monthly rent applicable to the average monthly rent rate” attached to the inquiry inquiry reply.
However, the above calculation is the amount calculated by applying the average monthly rent rate (0.81~0.93% according to the time) to the minimum amount and maximum amount of the rent deposit with respect to apartments under the same conditions as the instant apartment that the Korea Appraisal Board conducted a monthly rent price survey pursuant to Article 86 of the Housing Act and Article 118 of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act. In the case of the monthly rent converted from the minimum amount of the rent deposit to the maximum amount of KRW 2,050 per month, it is difficult to determine the difference as the basis for the calculation of the rent amount, and it is difficult to determine the rent amount as the monthly rent amount equivalent to the monthly rent amount that changes every month according to the rent deposit collected by statistics with respect to the same apartment, and it is not consistent with the reality of paying the fixed monthly rent amount, and it is difficult to readily conclude that the method of calculating the rent amount accurately reflecting the monthly rent amount from the rent deposit to the average amount of the monthly rent amount.
On the other hand, Defendant 4 and Defendant 5 (Defendant 4) prepared a pre-sale contract of KRW 200 million for the pre-sale deposit, and judged this as an index for the renewal of the criminal intent of acceptance of bribe and grant of bribe as seen earlier. In light of the “the calculation of the monthly rent conversion amount applicable to the average monthly rent rate of Gyeonggi-do”, the above KRW 200 million is close to the average amount of the pre-sale deposit for the apartment of this case. While the Defendants continued to use and provide apartment houses without actually receiving the pre-sale deposit of KRW 200 million, they can be deemed that there was a will to enjoy and provide at least 200 million for the benefit of financial profit.
Furthermore, when calculating financial gains that the defendant gains by borrowing money with interest without interest or without being obliged to pay the deposit money, the legal interest rate stipulated in the Civil Act or the Commercial Act shall be based on the loan interest rate to be borne when the defendant borrowed money from a financial institution or if the loan interest rate cannot be ascertained (see Supreme Court Decision 2008Do2590, Sept. 25, 2008). Considering the status of the defendant 4, etc., it is reasonable to deem that the above 200 million won is an amount calculated at the rate of 5% per annum 5% per annum as stipulated in the Civil Act from July 18, 2011 to April 30, 2014 (see Supreme Court Decision 27,883,561 won (=200,000 + 200,000 + 9/12 + 14/135/56) x 65% of the loan interest of this case).
(3) Sub-decisions
Ultimately, Defendant 4 and Defendant 5 (Counter-board: Defendant 4) did not constitute the crime of bribery and the crime of offering money. However, Defendant 4’s assertion regarding the method of calculating the amount of bribery is with merit. As such, Defendant 4’s violation of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Crimes (Bribery) among the facts charged against Defendant 4 constitutes a case where there is no proof of a crime regarding the fact that the amount of bribery is more than KRW 30 million, which is the constituent element of the crime, and only the fact of bribery following the offering of pecuniary benefits equivalent to KRW 27,88
On the other hand, as long as only part of the amount accepted by Defendant 4 is recognized, there is an error of misconception of facts in the part concerning the offering of bribe by Defendant 5 (Defendant 4) who is the principal offender in the judgment of the court below, and there is a ground for ex officio reversal in this part 5).
D) Defendant 6
(1) The judgment of the court below
The court below found the defendant guilty of each fraud against the victims on the following grounds: (a) the circumstances duly admitted and investigated evidence, namely, that the defendant had no ability to establish Main SPC before December 31, 201 at the time when he received the money from the victims; (b) the defendant appears to have no intent or ability to guarantee the business rights or the right to sell commercial buildings promised even if he received the money from the victims; and (c) the defendant was not capable of paying a large amount of debt without any specific property at the time; and (d) the defendant was not able to pay it individually.
(2) Judgment of the court below
In full view of the following objective circumstances, which are recognized by the evidence duly adopted and investigated by the court below, the court below's decision is justified.
① Even based on the Defendant’s statement, the Defendant tried to form Main SPC without his own investment money, and had not secured the necessary capital through an investment by a third party, and even based on the agreement between the Gyeongnam-gu and the construction company and the investor, the Defendant was unable to raise funds for the implementation of the project prior to the conclusion of the construction contract. Ultimately, the Defendant appears to have had the intent to run the project, but it appears that there was no capacity to perform the project, and the Defendant agreed to return the principal to Nonindicted 44 and received KRW 100 million, regardless of the failure of the project, and at the time, said Nonindicted 4 was aware that he would immediately participate in the project.
② The victim Non-Indicted 20 stated that the store occupant was able to do so by the end of June, and that the business is carried out by dividing it into one, two, and three sections. The business is carried out by stages. The contents of the statement, such as making a statement, are specific and persuasive. Unlike the Defendant’s horses, if the victims were to know that the long-term demand for the progress of the business in this case was made, it cannot be said that they believe that the possibility of completion of the business is possible, and that the act of deceiving the shop occupant could also be recognized as a deceptive act.
E) Defendant 7
(1) The judgment of the court below
The lower court determined that Defendant 7 could be recognized by the Defendant 7 in collusion with the Defendant 6, in light of the following: (a) the circumstance duly admitted and investigated evidence, namely, the Defendant explained the victim Nonindicted 20 and Nonindicted 27 about the guarantee of shop occupants’ right to shop occupants; (b) the additional investment was urged; and (c) the Defendant partially distributed the amount received from the victims; and (d) the Defendant received part of the amount that Defendant 6 received from the victims.
(2) Judgment of the court below
In light of the following circumstances, the lower court’s determination that Defendant 7 conspiredd with Defendant 6 is justifiable.
① Nonindicted 20 and Nonindicted 27 stated that Nonindicted 28 mainly referred to Defendant 7 at the time when they talk about the instant business, and that Nonindicted 28 took part in a talk about money or a talk about business through Defendant 7.
② Although Nonindicted 28 made a statement that is contrary to the statements made by Nonindicted 20 and Nonindicted 27 on the part of Defendant 7’s performance of the above role, it may be deemed that it made such statement due to the pro rata relationship with Defendant 7. Even according to Nonindicted 28’s statement, Nonindicted 28 came to know about the instant project through Defendant 7, ② Nonindicted 20 received a prior business plan from Defendant 7 when talking about the instant project to Nonindicted 20; ② Nonindicted 20 and Nonindicted 27 were accompanied by Defendant 6 on March 18, 201 and around March 21, 201; ② Nonindicted 20 and Nonindicted 27 were accompanied by Defendant 6 on March 18, 2011; ② Nonindicted 7 did not make any investment after remitting KRW 50 million from Nonindicted 20,500,000 from Defendant 7 to Defendant 28, who attempted to pay the additional money to Nonindicted 28 without permission.
B. Determination on the assertion of unfair sentencing
1) Defendant 1 (the offering of a bribe and the part No. 5-b. of the decision of the court below)
The fact that the defendant did not pay the liquidation amount proportional to the shares offered to the defendant 4 after the liquidation of the non-indicted corporation 14 and there is no profit gained by the defendant 4 is a favorable circumstance.
그러나, 피고인은 ▤▤을 원료로 한 화장품 사업을 시도하면서 ○○공항 내국인 면세점에 입점하기 위하여 피고인 4에게 적극적으로 뇌물을 공여한 점 등은 피고인에게 불리한 정황이다.
In addition, considering the Defendant’s age, character and conduct, environment, motive and circumstance of the crime, means and consequence of the crime, and all of the sentencing conditions indicated in the records, such as the circumstances after the crime, it is difficult to view that the court below’s sentencing of the Defendant is too unreasonable.
Therefore, this part of the defendant's argument is without merit.
2) Defendant 6
The Defendant established Nonindicted Co. 7 in a manner that makes it difficult to carry out the instant project, thereby impairing the capital balance of the stock company and the trust of the parties to the transaction, and, in the process of making the project in an unreasonable manner without the ability to carry out the instant project, the crime is bad, the damage is not completely recovered, and there is a fact that the Defendant was punished by a fine for the same criminal offense.
However, the defendant agreed with the victims by returning part of the investment funds to the victims and providing them with a future repayment plan, and it is advantageous that the defendant additionally repaid 5.8 million won to the victims non-indicted 44 in the first instance.
In addition, considering the Defendant’s age, character and conduct, environment, motive and background of the instant crime, means and consequence of the instant crime, etc., it is difficult to deem that this part of the lower court’s punishment is too heavy or unreasonable.
Therefore, this part of the defendant and prosecutor's argument is without merit.
4) Defendant 7
In collusion with Defendant 6, the Defendant: (a) deceivings the victim as if he would secure the right to sell commercial buildings in an uncertain state where the continuous implementation of the business is uncertain; (b) denies the crime in a consistent vindication that is difficult to obtain even if he did not receive the money, and (c) denies the crime; and (d) has been punished by a fine for the same kind of criminal offense, which is unfavorable to the Defendant.
However, the fact that the Defendant was a person unrelated to the instant business and appears to have committed the instant crime in the process of gathering investment funds upon Defendant 6’s request, the fact that the amount distributed by the Defendant is not large, and that Defendant 6, an accomplice, agreed with the victim is favorable.
In addition, considering the Defendant’s age, character and conduct, environment, motive and background of the instant crime, means and consequence of the instant crime, etc., it is difficult to deem that this part of the lower court’s punishment is too heavy or unreasonable.
Therefore, this part of the defendant and prosecutor's argument is without merit.

B. Determination
1) Scope of a party member’s trial (Defendant 4)
From July 18, 2011 to April 30, 2014, the prosecutor charged Defendant 4 with the receipt of benefits equivalent to KRW 54,798,800, calculated based on the average of the rent of the apartment of this case as indicated in the “the calculation of the amount converted into the original monthly rent applicable to the Gyeonggi-do average monthly rent rate” attached to the prosecutor’s inquiry reply to the Korea Appraisal Board.
The court below found Defendant 4 guilty only of violation of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Crimes (Bribery) due to the receipt of profits equivalent to KRW 49,800,600 from the Korea Appraisal Board on the ground that it is reasonable to base the minimum amount of the above calculation in recognizing the profits equivalent to the rent as a bribe in relation to the above charged facts, and found Defendant 4 guilty and acquitted Defendant 9 of the
Since only Defendant 4 filed an appeal on the conviction on the grounds of mistake of facts, misunderstanding of legal principles, and unreasonable sentencing, the part which the lower court rendered a not-guilty verdict on the grounds of the reasoning is judged to have been exempted from the object of attack and defense between the parties, and therefore the conclusion of the lower court is consistent with this part.
2) Determination of the immediate deliberation
As examined earlier, since this part of the facts charged constitutes a case where there is no proof of facts constituting the crime, it should be pronounced not guilty pursuant to the latter part of Article 325 of the Criminal Procedure Act. However, inasmuch as Defendant 4’s judgment on the acceptance of bribe and Defendant 5’s judgment on the offer of bribe (In the case of Defendant 4, Defendant 4), as long as

Note 1) In order to meet the minimum capital requirement, a new company of KRW 500 million was established, and its name was changed to “Nonindicted 7 Stock Company” and the name of the previous company was changed to “Nonindicted 7 Stock Company Global.”
Note 2) The purport of testimony at the court of the original instance rendered by Defendant 5 (Defendant 4) under title 2, title 926-927, Defendant 2, the trial record, appears to the purport that “Defendant 1 shall promote the project under the lead of Defendant 1,” but the statement is written as it is.
3) Since the written argument on the grounds of appeal disputing business relationship and the value of the appeal is submitted after the date on which the grounds of appeal are not timely filed, it shall be considered to the extent of supplement in the grounds of appeal.
Note 4) The lower court indicated as “the result of appraisal by the Korea Appraisal Board” No. 2014 Gohap616, No. 319 (No. 6 of the Investigation Records No. 3401 of the Investigation Records), but this constitutes a fact-finding inquiry inquiry by the Korea Appraisal Board against the prosecution.
5) Therefore, we do not decide separately on the assertion of unreasonable sentencing by Defendant 5 (Defendant 4).
6) The sentencing criteria do not apply to the instant crime in the relationship between the previous conviction in the judgment and the latter concurrent crimes of Article 37 of the Criminal Act.
7) The sentencing guidelines do not apply to the instant crime in the relationship between the previous conviction in the judgment and the latter concurrent crimes in the latter part of Article 37 of the Criminal Act.
8) 1) The sentencing criteria are not applied after being indicted on or before July 1, 2014. 2) The basic area of the basic area of the crime of acceptance of bribe [the scope of recommendation] the crime of acceptance of bribe [the scope of the crime of acceptance of bribe] [10 million won or more but less than 30 million won] [1-3 years]] [3] there are multiple crime processing standards at least one year [the crime for which the sentencing guidelines are set and the crime for which the sentencing guidelines are not set are established and the crime for which the sentencing guidelines are not set, multiple crimes are concurrent crimes under the former part of Article 37 of the Criminal Act, so the minimum sentencing criteria of the punishment shall not be applied directly, but the minimum sentencing criteria of the punishment shall be set according to the sentencing guidelines for the crime of acceptance of bribe].
9) However, the lower court did not render a judgment of partial innocence regarding the offering of a bribe by Defendant 5 (Defendant 4).
