'Daedo' Sejo Hyung (81), who was handed over for theft, was sentenced to first sentence.

The 12th Criminal Agreement of the Seoul East District Law (Min Cheol-gi, Judge) sentenced Mr. Cho to two years and six months in jail on charges of theft invasion.

The court said, "The defendant broke into the house habitually at night and stole more than 10 million won of precious metals and cash," he said. "Planned a crime in advance, such as preparing a driver or cutter knife. To judge. "

However, the court added, "We did not overcome economic difficulties after being released, but we took into consideration that we were committed for livelihood, and that the accused was old and admitted."

Earlier, the prosecution sentenced Mr. Cho to three years in prison, saying, "Although there are many who have been sentenced to death for similar crimes, they have committed another crime."

Mr. Cho was charged with stealing cash and precious metals for breaking into six houses in Gwangjin-gu and Seongdong-gu, Seoul, from March to June.

It is alleged that they have been guilty of stealing through the gaps where residents have gone out, stealing five million dollars and yuan, platinum rings worth one million won, and gold necklaces worth 500,000 won through security screens.

At a resolution hearing last month, Joe complained about his misery by telling a story of his distress.

"I was orphaned at the age of three, three years before liberation," he said. "When I went to a welfare facility and stole food, I went to a boy's prison, where I learned only criminal skills from criminals."

"My son enlists on the 22nd of this month. I'm afraid to go to jail when I think of him."

Cho gained the nickname "Taedo" by performing unprecedented theft against the wealthy and power in the 1970s and 1980s.

He traveled to high-ranking bureaucrats and wealthy homes, stealing dozens of carats of jewels and large amounts of cash overnight.

His theft was exposed to the luxuries of high society, and he was beautified as 'righteousness' when he was known for his own principles, such as using some of his stolen money for the poor.

After being detained in 1982 and imprisoned for 15 years, he was released from prison, commissioned as a security guard advisor, and seized a vacant house in Tokyo, Japan, in 2001.

Later, in 2005, the police stole the dentist's house in Mapo-gu, Seoul, and was caught by the police.

In 2013, he was sentenced to gangnam luxury villa by using a presser foot peg (called `` Paru '') at the age of 70, and was sentenced to three years in prison in a luxury villa in Yongsan, five months after he was released. Was released last year.
