Drug-laced coffee in golf bet swindles $75,000

Seoul's Namdaemun Police Station has arrested and sent three suspects to prosecution for allegedly spiking a golf opponent's coffee with psychotropic drugs during a money match in July, then winning and swindling 75 million won (about $75,000). The suspects, including a man in his 60s, were charged with drug law violations and fraud; one was detained and two released without detention, according to Yonhap and other outlets. Korean media widely reported the case, with Dong-A Ilbo noting the drugs were used to impair the victim's judgment and athletic ability, while Maeil Business highlighted the large stake as a key detail.
