Golf betting scam: drugs in coffee, 75M won stolen
Seoul's Namdaemun Police Station has sent a suspect in his 60s to prosecutors on charges of violating the Narcotics Control Act and fraud, along with two accomplices, for allegedly slipping psychotropic drugs into a golf betting opponent's coffee to impair their judgment and win 75 million won ($54,000) in a match in July at a course in Gyeonggi Province. The suspect was detained and sent to the Seoul Central Prosecutors' Office on Oct. 30, while the accomplices were sent without detention, according to reports from Maeil Business and Kyunghyang Shinmun. Korean media coverage focuses on the audacity of the scheme, with headlines noting the large stakes involved and the method of drugging the victim's coffee while they were away at the restroom.
