However, on August 5, an appeals court broke the original trial and fined 5 million won. The appellate court acquitted the defendant of the charges of violating the Political Funds Act, saying, "It is true that the defendant received the money, but considering related evidence and testimony, it cannot be regarded as a reward for solicitation."
