On the 21st, according to the police, the Seoul Seocho Police Station is investigating multi-level marketing company official A and others on charges of fraud and professional negligence resulting in death.

Earlier, A and others are suspected of selling medicine last October in the Seocho-gu area of Seoul, claiming that taking the health supplements they made could cure diseases such as rheumatism and hypertension instead of hospital medicine.

In October last year, they sold 3 million won worth of health supplements, which they claimed to have made, to 70-year-old grandmother B, mentioning the side effects of hospital medicine.

Afterwards, B’s health condition rapidly deteriorated, but it is known that A’s side continued to encourage the purchase of health supplements. Also, when B complained of urinary problems, it was reported that they sold prostate supplements.

B’s health worsened, and after a pulmonary blood vessel burst, she eventually passed away in June. The bereaved family filed a lawsuit against A and others. The claim is that they exaggerated the effects of the health supplements and hindered proper treatment, causing the condition to worsen.
