‘Ecstasy’ Recipient Is High School Girl, Real Culprit Is Older Brother

A man in his 20s was caught smuggling 'Ecstasy (MDMA)' under the name of his younger sister, a high school student.

On the 25th, the Incheon Airport Customs Headquarters of the Korea Customs Service announced that Mr. A (25) was sent to the prosecution under arrest on charges of violating the Narcotics Control Act (smuggling).

According to Incheon Airport Customs, Mr. A is suspected of smuggling 20g of MDMA. MDMA is a drug commonly known in Korea as Ecstasy or Doridori, and is known to cause serious side effects such as brain damage.

Earlier, Incheon Airport Customs detected MDMA smuggled through international mail during the customs clearance process and controlled the delivery to the receiving location (Namyangju), where Ms. B (17) was caught at the moment the package was delivered.

However, during the investigation of Ms. B, it was revealed that the actual owner of the package was Mr. A.

Accordingly, Incheon Airport Customs urgently arrested Mr. A near the receiving location in Namyangju and searched his residence in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province. They additionally seized 550 sheets of LSD stored in a personal safe at his residence, as well as hallucinogenic mushrooms, spores, and mushroom cultivation tools being grown in his wardrobe.

LSD is a narcotic that causes strong hallucinations even in very small doses and is mainly administered by licking it off paper in the form of stamps.

Investigation results showed that Mr. A purchased MDMA from Germany via Telegram in June for his own use, and used his younger sister’s name and address in preparation for being caught by customs. This was intended to claim that the overseas shipment (MDMA) was mistakenly delivered.

An official from Incheon Airport Customs stated, “We plan to strengthen crackdowns and arrests of narcotics smugglers to block the import of illegal drugs from overseas into the country. Considering the recent increase in drug crimes among young people, we will conduct drug crime prevention education targeting youth to help prevent young people from getting involved in drug crimes.”
