Where one shareholder of an insurance company unjustly reduces the company's assets, the nature of such violation of the former Insurance Business Act (Misappropriation).

Summary of Judgment

Although a company of a 1-person shareholder is not the same with a profit-making corporation which has a legal personality and a shareholder who is the subject of its profit-making, and in particular, with respect to an insurance company, there are certain legal regulations under the minimum capital, minimum and statutory law of the Minister of Finance and Economy, the right to examine the business and other property status of the insurance company, restrictions on dividends, etc. in order to protect the interests of policyholders, the insurance company, and so on. Therefore, the unfair decrease in the assets of the insurance company cannot be deemed the same as the decrease in its own property. Therefore, the above 1-person shareholder's unfair decrease in the company property constitutes a violation of the Insurance Business Act (Misappropriation).

Reasons

1. Grounds for appeal by the Defendants and the Prosecutor

(1) Defendant 1 and his defense counsel's first ground for appeal (the supplemental ground for appeal that was paid after the deadline for submitting the Reasons for Appeal shall be determined to the extent of supplement of the reasons for appeal submitted within the deadline) are as to the facts constituting the crime of this case at the time of original adjudication. After acquiring the insurance company of this case with Defendant 2's preference, the defendant delivered the money of this case as a political fund for the development of the company and the collection of house for the defendant. The defendant did not give a bribe in relation to the defendant 2's duties, and the facts constituting the crime of this case at the time of original adjudication, the defendant was hospitalized at hospital and all of the company's affairs were decided by Non-Party 1, who had no executive director at the time, to the extent that the money of this case was provided to Defendant 3, the company of this case, which had no relation with the duty of a public official for the conclusion of the insurance contract, and thus, the court below's decision that the defendant did not have a relation to the defendant's new business's ability to pay damages to the company of this case.

(2) Defendant 2 and his defense counsel's appeal No. 1 are without any relation to the defendant's duties, and only the relation that the defendant has been in charge of insurance business for a long time in the financial department to introduce and arrange the insurance company's sales and purchase of the insurance company's insurance company's insurance business, the defendant was granted the above money to pay the money as political funds for the trust of the above insurance company and the defendant's own withdrawal. However, the judgment of the court below that recognized the defendant as the crime of bribery and punished the defendant as the crime of bribery, which affected the conclusion of the judgment by misapprehending the legal principles as to the duties of bribery under the Criminal Act or by misapprehending the legal principles as to the duties of bribery under the Criminal Act, and considering the circumstances that the defendant has served in the public office for the past 20 years, the judgment of the court below that sentenced the defendant to the punishment of imprisonment with prison labor for 5 years is unreasonable.

(3) Although the first ground for appeal by Defendant 3 did not know that the amount of this case was a bribe and delivered to Nonindicted 2 in the name of his superior, the court below erred by misapprehending the facts and affecting the conclusion of the judgment by punishing the Defendant as a crime of delivery of cerebral Bribery. The second ground for appeal is that the judgment of the court below which sentenced the Defendant to a stay of execution for a period of two years against the Defendant, considering the circumstances where the Defendant had been on the salary for a long time as a public official, etc., the decision of the court below which sentenced the Defendant to a stay of execution for a period of two years against the Defendant is unreasonable.

(4) Defendant 4 and Defendant 1, who was the president of the insurance company of this case, received the instant money from Defendant 1, who was appointed as the president of the insurance company of this case, to request the change of management difficulties at the time, and received compensation for the cancellation of his work at the time of the commission. Despite the fact that the Defendant did not receive the instant money under the pretext of removal of unfair directors within the company by solicitation of the relationship with investigation agency, etc., such as the time of original adjudication, the court below recognized the Defendant as the violation of the Attorney-at-Law Act, which affected the conclusion of the judgment, by misunderstanding the fact, and considering that the Defendant’s crime of this case was not committed by fraud, the second reason for appeal is that the sentence of imprisonment with prison labor for the Defendant of this case is unreasonable.

(5) The first ground for appeal against Defendant 1 by the prosecutor as to the acquittal portion against the defendant at the time of original adjudication, and the facts charged against the defendant are sufficient to prove, but the judgment of the court below is erroneous in the misapprehension of facts by misunderstanding the selection of evidence and misunderstanding of facts, and the second ground for appeal against the defendant and the second ground for appeal against the defendant 3 is unreasonable.

2. Determination on the grounds for appeal

(1) First of all, the Defendants’ ground for appeal that there was a mistake of facts or a misunderstanding of legal principles in the judgment of the court below is examined in detail in light of the records, as to the first ground for appeal by the Defendants, and various methods of evidence adopted by the court below through legitimate evidence examination, and each part of the Defendants’ statement in the trial court at the time of original trial, each of the facts charged in this case against the Defendants can be sufficiently recognized, and otherwise, it cannot be found that there was a mistake of facts or a misunderstanding of legal principles as pointed out in

(2) As to the above grounds of appeal that there was an error in the misapprehension of legal principles as to the crime of breach of trust, the judgment of the court below by Defendant 1 cannot be seen as having been identical to the defendant's own property reduction in light of the above legal principles as to the above grounds of appeal that the defendant, even though he is a substantial one shareholder of the (trade name omitted) life insurance company of this case, the profit-making corporation which has legal personality as the subject of legal rights and obligations and the shareholder as the subject of profit-making can not be viewed as the same as the shareholder to whom the profit-making corporation belongs, and in particular, with respect to the insurance company, there are certain legal regulations under the minimum and legal principles as to the capital, the right to inspect the business of the Minister of Finance and Economy, the right to inspect the property status of the insurance company and the limitation on the distribution of dividends, etc. to protect the interests of the policyholders, the insured and other interested persons, and therefore, the court below's decision

(3) If the remaining Defendants except Defendant 1 and the prosecutor’s grounds for appeal on the grounds of unfair sentencing as to the above grounds for appeal on the grounds of unfair sentencing against Defendant 3 are comprehensively considered, considering the above circumstances, etc., the sentencing on the Defendants and the prosecutor, even though considering the above circumstances in which the Defendants and the prosecutor are particularly on internal duty, cannot be deemed as inappropriate, too heavy or unreasonable, and thus, the grounds for appeal by the Defendants and the prosecutor cannot be accepted.

(4) In light of the records, the following prosecutor's reasons for appeal No. 1 (the reasons for appeal against the acquittal portion of the court below) with respect to the prosecutor's first (the reasons for appeal against the defendant's acquittal portion), and the prosecutor's appeal with respect to the remaining facts charged except for the violation of the Commercial Act (payment penalty) portion among the part which the court below acquitted the defendant, the court below rejected the evidence as consistent with the court below's reasoning and decided not guilty on the grounds that there is no other evidence to acknowledge the facts charged, and in light of the selection of evidence and the process of its determination, it cannot be found that there is any error as pointed out in

However, the court below found 10,00 won and 50,000 won and 10,000 won and 50,000 won and 10,000 won and 50,00 won and 10,000 won and 50,000 won and 10,000 won and 10,000 won and 50,00 won and 10,000 won and 50,00 won and 10,000 won and 10,000 won and 50,00 won and 10,000 won and 10,000 won and 5,00 won and 10,00 won and 60,00 won and 10,00 won and 10,00 won and 60,00 won and 10,00 won and 60,00 won and 10,00 won and 6,00 won and 10,00 won and 6,00.

However, it is reasonable to view that, as mentioned above, if shares were to be paid to each bank and issued a certificate of custody immediately, then the above shares were returned to the creditors who leased the above shares price, then (mutual omitted) as if they were loans to the defendant company (non-indicted 3 corporation and 4 corporation), it cannot be exempted from liability for the crime of false payment under the Commercial Act in light of the date such shares were immediately withdrawn to the bank under the name of the company, the date when the ownership transfer registration was made, the date when the above shares were deposited to the bank, and the fact that the above shares were not transferred to the above 00 won, the total amount of 00 won and 400 won as stated in the appraisal statement of the above 600 won and the above 00 won as 00 won and the above 000 won and 400 won and the above 00 won and 000 won and 000 won and 100 won and 100 won and 300 won and 00 won and more of the above shares and 1000 won and more of the above shares.

Therefore, the court below's finding the defendant not guilty on the part of the violation of the Commercial Act is erroneous by misunderstanding the facts against the rules of evidence, which affected the judgment, or by misunderstanding the legal principles as to the crime of aiding and abetting payment under the Commercial Act. The prosecutor's appeal pointing this out has merit, and the court below's finding the defendant guilty part of the violation of the Commercial Act is not exempt from reversal. Since the guilty part of the court below is related to concurrent crimes under the former part of Article 37 of the Criminal Act with the violation part of the Commercial Act, the judgment of the court below's conviction part

3. Conclusion

Therefore, the appeal by Defendant 2, 3, and 4 and the appeal by the prosecutor against Defendant 3 and by the court below against Defendant 1, except for the part of violation of the Commercial Act, are without merit. Accordingly, all of these appeals are dismissed pursuant to Article 364(4) of the Criminal Procedure Act. Article 57 of the Criminal Act provides that 80 days of confinement before sentencing and 15 days of punishment against Defendant 4 shall be included in the sentence of the court below against Defendant 1, and all of the charges against Defendant 1 and the charges against Defendant 1 shall be reversed and decided again pursuant to Article 364(2) and (6) of the Criminal Procedure Act.
