Golf betting ring drugged coffee, stole 75M won

Seoul's Namdaemun Police Station has sent a group to prosecutors for allegedly drugging a golf opponent's coffee with psychotropic substances to impair their judgment, then winning a betting match and taking 75 million won. The suspects, including a man in his 60s, were booked on drug and fraud charges on October 30, with one detained and two released without detention, according to Yonhap and other outlets. The incident occurred at a golf course in Gyeonggi Province on July 30, where the victim was given the drugged coffee during a money-wagering round. Korean media coverage focuses on the audacity of the scheme, with headlines emphasizing the large stake and the method of slipping drugs into coffee while the victim was away.
