28-year-old A was under investigation by the police in February of last year after going to a drinking party called by the CEO of a cleaning company he had been attending before.
After the drinking party, company employee B reported that he was hit in the face by Mr. A while driving drunk Mr. A to his car.
[Mr. A: Not only did the billionaire collapse, but I really wanted to die.
Because I didn't hit you.
Because there is no truth.] The
police prosecution denied it all the time, but with consistent statements from other employees who were riding with Mr. B, he was eventually handed over to trial for assaulting a driver under the Special Act.
However, the reverse happened in court.
An eyewitness who said he saw that Mr. B and Mr. B, who said they were hit, reversed the statement.
Mr. B confessed that all of his facial scars and statements were made up by the company president.
In the trial report of Mr. B, Mr. B said, "After the president hit my face two times, I hit the area again to make it swell. “It is written.
An employee who made a false witness testified testified to the effect that he had no choice but to be subjected to "extortion, assault, and intimidation of money, physical and mental for as long as 5 years, as short as 2 years (for each employee)," etc.

The court found that Mr. B's statement was a confession of innocence, and there was no reason to make a false confession until he was punished, and thus acquitted Mr. A.
