"The defendant accepted illegal proceeds while being aware of circumstances indicating their connection to drug-related offenses. The judge noted the severe social harm caused by narcotics crimes and the need for strict punishment."
"Her actions made it harder to trace illicit profits and contributed to the spread of narcotics, rendering the offense particularly serious. The court found evidence contradicting the woman's claim that she was unaware of the nature of her crime."
A South Korean court sentenced a 90-year-old woman to one year in prison for laundering 386 million won for her son, a drug trafficking ringleader in Cambodia. The court considered her age and clean record but noted her awareness of the illegal nature of her actions. She received funds linked to narcotic crimes on nine occasions between April 2020 and February 2022. The judge emphasized the severe social harm caused by narcotics and the need for strict punishment despite her claims of ignorance.
