Police Request Precise Drug Analysis from National Forensic Service for Lee Cheol-gyu Lawmaker's Son
The police announced that they have requested a detailed analysis from the National Forensic Service (NFS) regarding the drug attempt case involving the son of Lee Cheol-gyu, a member of the People Power Party.
At a regular press briefing on the 4th, a police official stated, "During the investigation, we confirmed that the father is a member of the National Assembly," adding, "A preliminary drug test was conducted and came back negative, and after requesting analysis from the NFS, the investigation is ongoing. Hair samples typically reveal drug use from 3 to 6 months prior, while urine samples can detect it for about 7 days."
The police official further explained, "In drug cases, arrests can sometimes be made immediately, but additional investigation is necessary to strengthen the evidence for criminal charges," and added, "In this case, communication investigations were also conducted, so analyzing the data took some time."
