According to news from the South Korean legal community on December 26, drug-related actor Lee Sun-kyun submitted an opinion to the Drug Crime Investigation Department of the Incheon Police Department through his lawyer on the same day, requesting the police to conduct a polygraph test on himself and the nightclub public relations A involved in the case to judge the credibility of the confessions of all parties. I never thought that today's scene would appear.
Lee Sun-gyun died
According to Yonhap News Agency, actor Lee Sun-kyun, who is under police investigation on suspicion of drug use, was found dead in a car in a park in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 27th.
According to the South Korean police on the 27th, at about 10:12 a.m. that day, he received a report from Lee Sun-kyun's wife112 saying that her husband left home after leaving a note similar to a will, and her husband could still be contacted as of the day before, but his vehicle was driven away. After the police dispatched, at about 10:30 a.m., a man's vehicle was found in a park in Jongno-gu, Seoul, and the person in the car was unconscious, and the police also found fast-burning coal in the passenger seat of the car.
The police confirmed that the man was actor Lee Sun-kyun. Fire department personnel said the person was confirmed dead and was not taken to hospital.
According to the relevant laws on drug management, Li was put on file on suspicion of marijuana and flavors, and until recently he had been under police investigation. According to the South Korean police on the 24th, actor Lee Sun-gyun underwent a 19-hour high-intensity investigation for drug-related cases from 10 a.m. on the 23rd to 5 a.m. on the 24th.
The Incheon Police Agency's Narcotics Investigation Division summoned Lee Sun-kyun as a suspect in a drug-related case the day before for a third investigation. In an interview with the press corps after the investigation, Lee Sun-kyun said: "Although it was a little too late, I completed the investigation today as a victim [of the intimidation and extortion case], and I hope the police can judge which of the intimidation and the intimidation offender's oral account is more credible." Regarding the questions of "whether he admits to the accusation of drug use" and "whether he still denies active drug use", Li Shanjun only replied that he has confessed in the police investigation.
Previously, Li Shanjun sued A and others for intimidation and extortion on the grounds that he was extorted 350 million won (about 1.93 million yuan) by nightclub public relations A and others. In this investigation, Lee Sun-kyun was first investigated for a drug-related case, and then separately investigated as a victim of a intimidation and extortion case.
Lee Sun-gyun is suspected of smoking marijuana and injecting ketamine multiple times at A's house in Seoul this year. Li Shanjun claimed in the first two investigations that he was deceived by A and took drugs without knowing it. Li Shanjun's previous urine simple test and hair precision test results were negative.
Ask for a polygraph
According to news from the South Korean legal community on the 26th, drug-related actor Lee Sun-gyun submitted an opinion to the Drug Crime Investigation Department of the Incheon Police Agency through his lawyer on the same day, requesting the police to conduct a polygraph test on himself and the nightclub public relations A involved in the case to judge the credibility of the confessions of all parties.
In his opinion, Li Shanjun asserted that the only evidence of his drug use was A's confession, and the police should conduct a polygraph test on himself and A to judge the authenticity of the confession.
Lee Sun-kyun's lawyer said in a telephone interview with Yonhap News Agency on the same day that if A's claim was true, the result of the precise test conducted by the National Institute of Scientific Search and Research on Lee Sun-kyun's hair should be positive, but it was actually negative, which made Lee Sun-kyun feel very wronged. Therefore, the police should use a polygraph to conduct polygraph tests on A and Li Shanjun to verify the credibility of the confessions from a scientific point of view.
Lee Sun-gyun also said that Lee Sun-kyun was publicly summoned for investigation during the period, but hoped that the police would summon him in a private form and conduct polygraph tests in the future. The police will discuss Lee Sun-kyun's request before making a final decision.
On October 20, the drug crime investigation team of the Incheon Police Agency in South Korea conducted a pre-filing or investigation of a total of 8 people, including actor Lee Sun-gyun, on suspicion of violating the "Drug Control Act".
