The police have booked Officer A on charges of violating the Narcotics Control Act but plan to close the investigation without prosecution due to lack of prosecutorial jurisdiction.



Officer A fell to his death around 5 a.m. on the 27th of last month from the 14th floor of an apartment in Yongsan-gu. The police are investigating 24 people who gathered at this apartment on charges of violating the Narcotics Control Act.
