At 2:20 p.m. on the 18th, an appeal hearing was held at the Seoul High Court's Criminal Department 5 (Chief Judge Kwon Soon-hyung) for Yoo Ah-in, who was accused of violating the Narcotics Control Act.
On this day, the court reversed the judgment of the first trial, which sentenced him to one year in prison, and sentenced him to one year in prison and two years of probation. In addition, he ordered a fine of 2 million won, a fine of 1.548 million won, 80 hours of community service, and 40 hours of medication lectures.
From September 2020 to March 2022, Yoo Ah-in was accused of taking a total of four medical drugs, 9.6 liters of propofol, 567 mg of midazolam, 200 mg of remimazolam, and 10.7 ml of ketamine, 181 times under the guise of sleep anesthesia for cosmetic procedures.
He is also accused of illegally prescribing 1,100 sleeping pills in the name of another person 44 times from May 2021 to August 2022. In January this year, he was also accused of smoking hemp three times in the United States and teaching marijuana smoking to an acquaintance he was with to hide this fact.
However, the court found only marijuana smoking, habitual drug use, and habitual drug purchase guilty. The charges of receiving and smoking hemp and destroying evidence were found not guilty.
The court said "Drug crimes are not easy to detect and there is a high risk of chaebol." The harm to society as a whole is great due to hallucinogenic addiction. Yoo Ah-in criticized the crime by arbitrarily using the names of his family members and acquaintances using loopholes in drug management methods, saying, "The crime is not good and there is a lot of room for criticism."
Even so, it seems that he committed the crime due to pain that he could not sleep properly after suffering from sleep disorders and depression for a long time. Currently, it seems that it has overcome drug dependence to a large extent.'
