Articles 129, 130 and 133 of the Criminal Act and Article 2 of the Act of Aggravated Punishments prescribe punishments for corruption offences. Notably, there is an elaborate method of calculating the sanctions for bribery based on the amount of bribe. The Republic of Korea clarified that judges issue sentences according to the scope of punishment prescribed in relevant laws and in consideration of the Sentencing Guidelines suggested by the Sentencing Committee. Members of the National Assembly generally do not enjoy immunity from criminal prosecution, although they cannot be arrested or detained without the consent of the Assembly, except in cases of flagrante delicto. An acting President cannot be criminally prosecuted, but can be impeached by the National Assembly. Corresponding investigations can be conducted while the President is still in office, and former Presidents have been prosecuted for corruption offences. No special immunities or privileges apply to members of the judiciary. Korean law allows appeals, re-appeals and petitions for adjudication of non-prosecution dispositions. Persons who report a crime can also file a constitutional complaint against a prosecutor’s decision not to prosecute (Article 10 of the Prosecutors’ Office Act, Article 260 of the Criminal Procedure Act, Article 68(1) of the Constitutional Court Act). Defendants are guaranteed the right to be present at any stage of the criminal proceeding if their presence would contribute to the fairness of the procedure (Articles 276-277-2 of the Criminal Procedure Act). Defendants also have a right to be present when their presence is relevant to their ability to defend against the charges (Article 27(1) and (4) of the Constitution). Conditions for release on bail are established in Articles 98-99 of the Criminal Procedure Act. Based on Articles 121, 122 of the Administration and Treatment of Correctional Institution Inmates Act, parole can be granted to inmates that underwent punishment in terms of Article 72 of the Criminal Act. Articles 73-3, 78 and 79 of the State Public Officials Act and Articles 65-3, 69, 70 of the Local Public Officials Act cover proceedings for the reassignment, removal and suspension of public officials accused of corruption. Public officials convicted of corruption can be disqualified from employment in a profit-making organization under Articles 69, 33 of the State Public Officials Act, Articles 61, 31 of the Local Public Officials Act, and Articles 83, 82 of the Act on Anti-Corruption and the Establishment and Operation of the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission (“ACRC Act”). In all cases involving public officials, both disciplinary actions and prosecution proceedings can be taken simultaneously.
