Busan Saha Police Station.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Two Vietnamese nationals were arrested by the police for selling illegal abortion pills to women of their own nationality.

On the 22nd, the Busan Saha Police Station announced that they had apprehended A, a Vietnamese national in his 20s and a university student, and B, a company employee in his 30s, on charges of violating the Pharmaceutical Affairs Act.

They are suspected of purchasing illegal abortion pills containing miscarriage-inducing ingredients through a Vietnamese open chat room since October 2020 and selling them to Vietnamese women of their own nationality.

They falsely advertised on social media that the products were approved by the U.S. FDA and sold each abortion pill pack for 200,000 to 300,000 KRW.

They sold the pills about 50 times, earning approximately 16 million KRW in illegal profits.

The illegal abortion pills they sold are unapproved drugs in Korea and are known to cause side effects such as uterine rupture when taken.

The police confiscated the injectable drugs and abortion pills sold by them, arrested A, and booked B without detention.
