In the first instance, the court found that all of the charges against Chung were guilty of fraudulent entrance exams. On the other hand, he was not guilty of forgery of private documents, business misappropriation, violation of the Capital Market Law by false exchange report to the Financial Commission, and violation of the Korean Investment Securities Real Name Law. As a result, on December 2 of last year a new arrest warrant was issued with criminal acts such as falsifying private documents that are not criminal offenses and violation of the law by providing important undisclosed information.
The court said, “There was an unfair result that the other examinees were rejected due to the substantial benefit of the daughter’s first pass to Seoul National University School of Medicine and final pass to Pusan University School of Medicine. “. The fraudulent offense of a person’s entrance examination not only interfered with the task of selecting the desired personnel through fair procedures, but also caused a feeling of disappointment and disappointment, and there is a great possibility of criticism such as neglecting trust. “
He continued: “It is clear that it was an act of the accused for fraudulent entrance examinations and concealment of colinks, although he was not criminally sanctioned, to prepare the materials for the personal audience of the Minister of Justice. It is advantageous that you have not been punished for any other crime, such as falsification of documents, exercise of falsified documents, etc., and that the real benefit is much less than the criminal act of acquiring shares using undisclosed information due to the decrease in WFM stocks. It was considered as a factor of punishment. “
Furthermore, “the accused has never frankly admitted and reflected on his errors. Despite many statements and testimonies, he denied all the facts of the complaint and made unconvincing and irrational statements.” It is not easy to repeat. “
The court clarified the reason for Chung’s arrest in court, saying: “We actively conceal the crime by destroying or concealing evidence during the investigative process.”
From 2013 to 2014, Chung was accused of obstructing the admissions selection process by falsifying documents such as a certificate of commendation in the name of the president of Toyo University and submitting them to his daughter’s medical graduate school entrance exam afterwards. of receiving a false broadcast.
Furthermore, when former Secretary Cho became the chief civil affairs secretary of Cheong Wa Dae (Korean Presidential Office), he borrowed money through the private fund management company Colink Private Equity (PE) to avoid the code. of official ethics that prohibited direct investment. There is also a suspicion that he invested in the company and signed a fake consulting contract with Kolink PE to steal more than 150 million won.
