Overview
- The Incheon District Court sentenced the woman to one year in prison and ordered her to forfeit 386 million won, about $260,000.
- Prosecutors said she received the money on nine occasions between April 2020 and February 2022 and sent it to bank accounts her son named.
- The court rejected her claim that she did not know the funds were illicit, citing five trips to Cambodia in 2019 and calls about her son's detention, while noting her age and clean record in setting the term.
- Her son, a suspected ringleader arrested in Cambodia in July 2020 on meth-related charges, remains jailed, and investigators say his network kept operating during his incarceration.
- Related proceedings continue, with prosecutors seeking his extradition to South Korea and a court acquitting his daughter for insufficient evidence.
