Four Individuals Detected by Military Manpower Administration for Psychiatric Disorder Concealment Exemption... Referred to Prosecution

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] Four conscripts accused of falsely claiming psychiatric symptoms to receive military service exemptions have been caught and sent to the prosecution.

On the 12th, the Military Manpower Administration's special judicial police investigation revealed that they falsely claimed symptoms such as depression, impulse control disorder, and social phobia during medical examinations to obtain medical certificates for military service exemption and submitted them to the Military Manpower Administration.

The four, who knew each other, were confirmed to have shared methods of feigning mental illness to avoid active duty service and continue income-generating activities, receiving treatment at the same hospital. The Military Manpower Administration reported that their girlfriends were involved in the crime by informing others about the military service evasion methods.

The Military Manpower Administration is expanding the investigation to determine if there are additional suspects involved in military service evasion related to this case. If they are found guilty of violating the Military Service Act in court, they will face criminal punishment and must undergo a military service examination and fulfill their military duties. The Military Manpower Administration stated, "We will continue to do our best to thoroughly investigate and root out suspects of evasion through scientific investigations so that a fair military service culture based on common sense can be established."
