Former Kia Tigers coach Kim Jong-kook and former general manager Jang Jung-seok, who were put on trial for receiving 160 million won in bribes from a sponsor company.
Prosecutors asked for four years in prison, but the court acquitted them of all charges.
The court explained that the money given by Kim, who runs a coffee company, to former coach Kim and former general manager Jang could be seen as a player's encouragement as a fan of the club.
In particular, it was considered that Kim, who handed over the money, had previously given hundreds of millions of won worth of coffee sets to clubs and spectators as gifts.
The court also emphasized that it was the supervisory office, or the open place, where Kim, the sponsor, met with former director Kim and paid the money.
If it was an illegal request, it was impossible to transfer money from a place where several people came in and out.
The advertising fees that Mr. Kim subsequently signed with the club were also higher than usual, and he did not win the advertising for less,
Rather, former coach Kim explained that he asked for an advertisement at the end of the season.
In the case of former general manager Jang, he was also charged with demanding back money in connection with the salary negotiations of Park Dong-won, who was about to become an FA, which was also acquitted.
It is true that he asked for 200 million won to make Park more expensive, but
The
court concluded that Park did not ask for it, and that Park could not be guilty because he did not agree or agree to former general manager Jang's request.
The court acquitted him, but added that all the defendants should be morally criticized for doing nothing well, but there was no factor that could directly lead to guilt.
