[뉴스현장] National football team player Son Jun-ho, Chinese public security arrest investigation

Current national soccer player Son Jun-ho has been arrested by Chinese police.

I was put on trial in China and went through formal judicial procedures.

It is expected that the trial will take a considerable amount of time.

Find out exactly what kind of charges you face, what the trial process will be like in the future, and more details with Attorney Lim Joo-hye.

First of all, let’s look at what the charges against Son Jun-ho are. He is known to have been accused of ‘accepting stateless workers’. What offenses do these charges apply to?

Son Jun-ho’s team manager and players are also under investigation. It is said that Son Jun-ho’s agent was also arrested by the public security on the same charge. The specific inside story has yet to be revealed, but based on what is known, what kind of event is it?

By any chance, did Son Jun-ho’s take on the information that was known so far come out?

The reason for this was that Son Jun-ho was ‘detained’ and then switched to ‘arrest investigation’. I’m curious why it was changed. What does it mean for Chinese public security to conduct an arrest investigation?

Where is Son Jun-ho currently imprisoned? I am worried about my health because I am in a state of physical restraint. I am concerned about the conditions of the local detention facilities.

Son Jun-ho, who was formally arrested by the Chinese public security, will now face a criminal case. How does China’s criminal trial process work?

He is a former member of the group EXO. Didn’t Chris Chinese go on trial for sex crimes? How long did the trial take in this case? Considering the trial period for this case, how long will Son Jun-ho’s trial be?

Son Jun-ho, current national representative. The sentence has not yet been completed. There are also concerns about whether there is any potential for unfair human rights violations by the Chinese public security. I wonder what kind of response the Korean government is taking, and is Son Jun-ho interviewing a lawyer?

How can we predict the outcome of future trials? In China, a report said that ‘prison for more than 5 years is possible’. Can foreigners also be sentenced to a heavy sentence? How do you see it?

Even if he is sentenced to prison, is there any possibility that Son Jun-ho will be released on bail or probation and continue his career as an athlete?
