A Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency official said at a press briefing on the 11th, "We are investigating a case in which Shin and three others were accused of coin fraud," adding, "We have imposed travel bans on the related individuals." The official also added, "We are continuing the investigation, including conducting raids on about 10 hospitals believed to be connected to Shin."

The Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office's Violent Crime Investigation Division (Chief Prosecutor Shin Junho) indicted Shin on the 6th on charges including hit-and-run causing injury under the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Crimes, dangerous driving causing injury, and failure to take measures after an accident under the Road Traffic Act. Shin is accused of crashing his Rolls-Royce into a woman in her 20s walking on the sidewalk near Apgujeong Station in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, at around 8:10 p.m. on the 2nd of last month and fleeing the scene without providing aid. Seven types of psychotropic drugs, including ketamine, were detected in Shin's body.

The prosecution discovered more than 100 million won in cash at Shin's residence. They are also investigating evidence that Shin was involved in multiple illegal businesses, including operating an online gambling site, while participating in a group mainly composed of people in their 20s and 30s.
