Golf betting ring drugged coffee, swindled $75K

Seoul's Namdaemun Police Station arrested three people for allegedly slipping psychotropic drugs into a victim's coffee during a betting golf match in Gyeonggi Province in July, then winning and swindling 75 million won (about $75,000). The suspects were sent to prosecutors on Oct. 30, with the main suspect, a man in his 60s, detained, while two accomplices were released without arrest, according to multiple Korean outlets including Dong-A Ilbo, Maeil Business, and Kyunghyang Shinmun. Korean media coverage focuses on the crime's audacity—drugging a rival to win a casual golf bet—and the large sum involved, with headlines emphasizing the 75 million won stakes.
