Suspected Violation of the Narcotics Control Act

[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Sehee] A male professional golfer in his 20s has been handed over to the prosecution on charges of deceiving a colleague into taking drugs by telling them it was a hangover cure.

On the 19th, the Seoul Seocho Police Station announced that it had sent Mr. Jo, a male professional golfer in his 20s who was arrested on charges of violating the Narcotics Control Act, to the prosecution. Three golf students who were also accused of taking drugs at the drinking party with Mr. Jo were sent to the prosecution without detention.

According to the police, Mr. Jo is suspected of giving a female professional golfer, who was drinking with him in July, a drug by deceiving her that it was a hangover cure.

The victim felt unwell after returning home from the drinking party and reported it to the police. The court issued an arrest warrant for Mr. Jo due to concerns about flight risk.

Mr. Jo is known to have admitted to the charge of giving the drug to the victim during the police investigation.

In the drug test conducted by the National Forensic Service, positive results were found not only in this man but also in the three other golf students who attended the drinking party.
