Among the seven offenses involving internal corruption in private enterprises—such as the crime of bribery by non-state functionaries and the crime of illegally engaging in business operations similar to those of one’s employing entity—the scope of the victimized unit is not clearly defined, and therefore requires theoretical analysis. The definition of the victimized unit is closely related to the implementation of the state policy of equal protection of private enterprises. Because criminal units emphasize the attribution of criminal liability, whereas victimized units emphasize compensation, and because criminal norms do not clearly define the scope of“unit”, the scope of victimized units in criminal law need not refer to the concept of criminal units. Since criminal units do not correspond to the tripartite classification of civil subjects, and since the function of the unit system cannot distinguish types of civil subjects, the understanding of victimized units in criminal law should not be constrained by the civil-law classification of civil subjects. Reliance interest is a substantive legal interest that has already been protected by criminal law, and the above-mentioned seven offenses are compound offenses that protect both property interests and reliance interests. Accordingly, the victimized unit in these offenses should be understood as an organization operating internally on the basis of relations of reliance. On this basis, a one-person company without employees among legal persons and a sole proprietorship without hired workers among unincorporated organizations lack organizational structure and therefore cannot be regarded as victimized units under the above offenses, whereas other unincorporated organizations, as well as self-employed businesses with employees and rural contracted business households, may be regarded as victimized units under these offenses. |
