Oh Jae-won, suspected of drug use, shows up for warrant review
(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Shin Hyun-woo = Oh Jae-won, a former professional baseball player of the national team suspected of violating the Narcotics Control Law, is participating in a suspicious interrogation (substantive examination warrant) before the arrest. at the Seoul Central District Court in Seocho-gu on the afternoon of 21. 2024.3.21 nowwego@yna.co.kr
(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Lee Mi-ryeong = Police are investigating 13 former and current professional baseball players for allegedly delivering prescription sleeping pills on their behalf to former baseball player Oh Jae-won (39, arrested).
Jo Ji-ho, head of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, said in a regular press conference on the 7th: “In addition to the eight players that the Doosan Bears team voluntarily confirmed and notified the names, it is necessary to confirm five more former and current players, so a total of 13 people are under investigation.”
As for the possibility that most of those involved were second team players who couldn’t resist Oh Jae-won’s coercion and gave them sleeping pills, he added, “If they were forced to do so (prescription by proxy) because of power, it is a question to be considered in the final judgment.”
Oh Jae-won was handed over to trial last month on charges of habitually taking sleeping pills such as Stilnox, a psychotropic drug, from acquaintances.
Team Doosan conducted its own investigation in late March, when the issue arose, and last month reported to the Korea Baseball Organization’s (KBO) Clean Baseball Center that eight of its players had prescribed sleeping pills to Oh Jae-won to their account.
Regarding media reports that dozens of current police officers have close ties to the Christian Gospel Mission (commonly known as JMS), Commissioner Cho also said: “It is difficult for an individual’s religious beliefs to be the subject of investigations or inspections,” but added “Religious beliefs are illegal, but are not regulated by the National Civil Service Law.” “If it leads to a breach of duty, it is subject to investigation or inspection,” he said.
