'The crime is bad, and there is a fear of escaping'Chronic drug administration' Yoo Ah-in is eventually imprisoned



Actor Yoo Ah-in (Eom Hong-sik, 38) who was handed over to trial on drug administration charges was sentenced to one year in prison in the first trial and arrested in court.

On the 3rd, the Seoul Central District Court's Criminal Department 25 (Judge Ji Gwi-yeon) sentenced infants charged with violating the Narcotics Control Act to a year in prison with a fine of 2 million won and a fine of about 1.54 million won. It also ordered the completion of an 80-hour drug rehabilitation education program and an additional fine of about 1.54 million won.

The court said that `The infant committed the crime using a loophole in the medical drug management method prescribed by the law, so the nature of the crime is not good.' `It is difficult to say that the risk of recidivism is low because the dependence on psychotropic drugs appears to be serious in light of the various circumstances shown in the record.'



He also said that he would be arrested in court because he was concerned about running away because he was sentenced to prison, and arrested Yoo Ah-in in court.

Yoo Ah-in was quoted as saying in the first trial that `I am sorry for causing concern and concern to many people.'

Earlier in July, the prosecution demanded a four-year prison term. At the time of the final trial, the prosecution demanded four years in prison, a fine of 2 million won, and a fine of 1.54 million won for Yoo Ah-in, but the first trial judged it to be less.

Yoo Ah-in said in his closing argument at the time, "I want to deeply reflect on my wrongdoings and express my apology."I had time to look back on my whole life as I went through this incident." I swear to live as a more responsible and mature human being."

Yoo Ah-in was indicted without detention on charges of habitual administration of medical propofol 181 times at hospitals in Seoul from September 2020 to March 2022. He is also accused of illegally buying 1,100 trips of sleeping pills in the name of another person 44 times between May 2021 and August 2022. In addition, he is accused of smoking marijuana in the United States with four accomplices, including Choi, an acquaintance, and teaching others to smoke.

Choi (33), an acquaintance who is on trial with Yoo Ah-in as an accomplice, was sentenced to two years of probation in August. Six doctors who were handed over to trial on charges of prescribing drugs on behalf of infants have also been convicted one after another, ranging from fines to suspended prison sentences.
