Mr B said in the auditor’s office: “If I tell you (next to the auditor) that there is no data related to the audit, I thought it might win my mind.” It is known that he said yes.
The court order of Mr. C, the manager of another subordinate of Mr. A, was dismissed.
Deputy Judge Oh stated the reason for the dismissal, saying: “We generally admit the crimes requested for a court order and, in light of the evidence already obtained, it is difficult to see that there is concern about the destruction of evidence or the leak.”

Deputy Judge Oh added: “The prosecution’s concern about destroying evidence is related to a crime that is not on the arrest warrant in this case,” he added.
