Three people, A (59), B (56), and C (54), who live in Wonju-si, Gangwon-do, called their acquaintance J to the screen golf course on the afternoon of July 28 last year to play bet golf.



Mr. A and others started betting with a small amount in the beginning.



As the bets heated up, Mr. A and others secretly took one tablet containing pharmaceutical ingredients in the coffee that Mr. J was drinking.



After drinking the coffee, Mr. J suddenly shook his shot and his physical function and judgment ability deteriorated sharply.



Taking this opportunity, Mr. A and others gradually raised the stakes in betting golf to a high amount.



Mr. A and others did not stop there, and lured Mr. J to the gambling house to gamble with so-called 'Hula' and 'Badugi'.



When playing golf or gambling with Mr. J, five accomplices, a so-called 'player' who wins money and a 'windman' who loses money, were also put in alternately.



A's crew, including players and windbreakers, tricked Mr. J, whose physical function and judgment ability had deteriorated, by sharing each other's cards or exchanging signals to win 15 million won overnight and then share the money with each other. .



With this method, he deceived Mr. J, who had spent over a month and a half until mid-September of the same year, 16 times, amounting to 240 million won.



Mr. A's party recruited another victim, Mr. K, and made him drink burnt coffee, then ripped out 32 million won 6 times in the same way.



The three main culprits, including Mr. A, who used psychotropic drugs 23 times for the victims, and five accomplices who took part in the crime were eventually caught by the investigation agency.



When the investigation began, some of the main culprits persuaded the victim, J not to state the damage, and even demanded false statements from the accomplices, but they all stood side by side in court.



Chuncheon District Court Wonju Branch 1st Criminal Justice Minah Gong, sentenced to 2 years and 4 months in prison for Mr. A and 2 years in prison for 2 persons including Mr. B and C announced today (11th) that they were sentenced to each.



C, who was being tried without detention, was arrested in court with a sentence of imprisonment for fear of escaping.



The three main perpetrators were ordered to complete a 40-hour rehabilitation program, and they were each collected between 31 million and 43 million won, which is equivalent to illegal profits from drug crimes.



In addition, the five accomplices were sentenced to 10 months in prison to 1 year and 6 months in prison and 2 to 3 years of probation respectively.



Judge Gong said, "The actions of the accused can harm the lives and health of the victims as well as the property of the victims, and the crime is very poor. I did.
