(8)Seoul = Yonhap News Reporter Jung Sung-jo = The Supreme Court ruled that using an image file other than the original resident registration card of another person cannot be punished for fraudulent use of the resident registration card.
(9)Supreme Court Chief Justice Roh Jung-hee said on the 14th that he confirmed the original trial, which found the violation of the Resident Registration Act innocent in the case of A41, who was indicted on charges of special robbery and other charges.
(10)Mr. A was accused of threatening Mr. B, a Thai national, with an electric shocker, binding his hands and feet with a cable tie at an officetel-type prostitution business in January last year, and taking 4.58 million won worth of water.
(11)It was investigated that he downloaded a photo of C’s ID card from the Internet, stored it on his mobile phone, and sent it to the prostitution owner to make a reservation for a visit.
(12)The prosecution charged Mr. A with special robbery and fraudulent use of his resident registration card and handed him over to trial. The first and second trials sentenced A to three years and six months in prison, but considered him innocent of violating the Resident Registration Act.
(13)The Supreme Court, which reexamined the case with the prosecution’s appeal, also made the same judgment, saying that the defendant’s exercise of the resident registration card under C’s name was only an image file.
(14)According to the Resident Registration Act and the Enforcement Decree, the original resident registration card must be presented in order for the act of exercising the resident registration card to be established.
(15)The Supreme Court explained that the submitted evidence alone is not enough to say that the defendant exercised the original copy of the resident registration card under C’s name in any form during the identification process, and that the use of the image file alone does not constitute fraudulent use of the resident registration card.
