The Daegu District Court sentenced the Daegu District Court to one year in prison for former Vice Chairman of the Curling Federation, Kim Gyeong-du, who caused the'curling gap-jil' excommunication.
Former Vice Chairman Kim's son-in-law Jang Ban-seok, who was also prosecuted, was sentenced to 1 year in prison and 2 years probation.
Regarding former vice-chairman Kim and director Jang Jeon who were charged with fraud and embezzlement, the judge said, "It is acknowledged that the government and local subsidies have been deviated from the government and local subsidies that must be strictly managed because the purpose is determined."
He added, "It seems that it seems to have actually dominated the accounting process of Director Jeon Jang, who was in charge of accounting by former vice chairman Kim, and summarized the fact that the skewed amount has not been recovered."
However, in order to guarantee the right to defend and prepare for an appeal, the former vice-chairman Kim was not held in court.
'Tim Kim', who won the silver medal in curling at the PyeongChang Olympics, announced in November of that year that he had been treated unfairly by the Kim Kyung-du family.
In addition, SBS reports revealed the situation of embezzling the prize money and encouragement money of the squad, and claiming double training expenses.
