Prosecution Demands 4-Year Sentence for Yoo Ah-in in Second Trial for Drug Abuse



The prosecution also demanded four years in prison in the second trial for actor Yoo Ah-in, who was sentenced to one year in prison for taking habitual drugs.

On the 24th, the Seoul High Court's Criminal Department 5 (Chief Judges Kwon Soon-hyung, Ahn Seung-hoon, and Shim Seung-woo) held an appeal hearing for Yoo Ah-in, who was accused of violating the Narcotics Control Act.

On this day, the prosecution demanded a four-year prison term, just like the original court, saying, "(Please convict) all of the charges."He also asked for a fine of 2 million won and a fine of 1.54 million won.




Yoo Ah-in said in his final argument, `First of all, I would like to take a seat and apologize to those who have been hurt and disappointed by me. I hurt my parents that I couldn't wash up, and I was disappointed in my colleagues, officials, and fans who gave me infinite trust. I deeply reflect on myself," he said, showing a tearful look.

Yoo Ah-in then continues to reflect on the case borrowed by my fault and the life of the detention center in total and detail""We are grateful for the time of reflection and are working on correction and recovery." I have time to get out of the labyrinth and shake off the temptations that lie everywhere in life. I am trying to be myself as a new person, not to be something that I am not now or to be in the next role."

Yoo Ah-in "I will pledge with a firm will in front of the public. And I will swear in a sacred court. I will never forget the seriousness of the law and never repeat foolishness wherever and whenever I am```` he pleaded for leniency.




Meanwhile, Yoo Ah-in was put on trial in October last year on charges of taking drugs such as propofol 9635.7mL, midazolam 567mg, ketamine 11.5mL and remimazolam 200mg, illegally buying 1,100 Stilnox tablets and Xanax tablets prescribed in the name of another person, or buying drugs 44 times in the name of six people, including his father and sister. As a result, Yoo Ah-in was sentenced to a one-year fine of 2 million won at the first trial held in September and immediately arrested in court.
