Drugs Hidden in 463 Locations... Prosecution Arrests and Indicts 30s Male 'Professional Delivery Agent'

The prosecution has arrested and indicted a man in his 30s who acted as a professional "draper" (delivery agent) to conceal and distribute various drugs.

The Special Investigation Team for Drug Crimes at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office (Chief Prosecutor Shin Junho) announced on the 5th that A (36, unemployed) was arrested and indicted for smuggling 200 tabs of LSD (hallucinogen) between February and March, and concealing and distributing some of them along with ecstasy and marijuana.

According to the prosecution, A was not merely a recipient of drugs but operated as a professional draper (delivery agent), hiding drugs in 463 locations over 50 days. Initially, he was recruited as a draper by an unidentified mastermind, but later actively participated in the crime by seeking buyers himself, selling drugs, and agreeing to share profits with the mastermind. The prosecution conducted focused searches on 137 locations where A recently concealed drugs and seized a large quantity of drugs (LSD, ecstasy, marijuana, etc.) hidden in 48 locations within Seoul.

A prosecution official stated, "This is a very serious case with severe criminal nature, and we plan to seek strict sentencing commensurate with the crime during the trial process." The prosecution is continuing investigations into distributors and buyers connected to A. On February 21, the Special Investigation Team for Drug Crimes was launched and is cooperating with customs, public health centers, local governments, and the Korea Internet & Security Agency to actively respond to drug distribution through social networking services (SNS) such as the dark web and Telegram. They also plan to strengthen crackdowns on concealed drugs involved in non-face-to-face transactions linked to smuggling.
