[속보]’Property reduction report’ Cho Su-jin, fined 800,000 won Maintaining the office

Cho Su-jin, 49, a member of the People’s Strength, who was handed over to the trial for reporting a reduction of his assets during the 21st general election, was sentenced to a fine of 800,000 won in the first trial and passed the crisis of invalidating the election. Elected public officials lose their positions if they are fined 1 million won or more for violating the Public Officials Election Act.

On the 27th, the 11th Department of the Criminal Agreement of the Seoul Western District Law fined 800,000 won to Rep.

The court said, “At least inevitably to the defendant, it is possible to recognize that the state of possession of property that has been prepared by the defendant can be submitted to the Central Election Commission as it is after an application as a proportional representative candidate and disclosed as the candidate property.” Everyone is admitted guilty.”

Earlier, Congressman Cho was handed over to trial on charges of deliberately omission of 500 million won bonds between deaths while reporting property at the time of the general election. The prosecution requested a fine of 1.5 million won for reporting that Cho had announced false facts for the purpose of being elected by submitting it to the party, knowing that some of the property contents could be false. Accordingly, Rep. Cho has argued that the report was not intentionally reduced, and that it occurred without knowing the instructions for writing.

However, the judge said, “In light of the fact that the defendant has been in the media for about 25 years and has worked in the Ministry of Social Affairs and Politics, it is difficult to view it as a person without knowledge or experience in registering and reporting property of public officials.” Recognizing that the contents may be different, I judged that I had written the current status of property holdings.”

However, taking into account the fact that “it does not appear to have intentionally and intentionally entered false facts about the property, and the details of the property are not disclosed in the data distributed to the voters as a candidate for proportional representative, so it does not appear to have had a decisive effect on the election of the National Assembly. “I choose the type” he said.
