A court in Seoul has handed a prison term to an executive of the Kudo-kai yakuza syndicate for his role in an audacious plot to smuggle a massive haul of marijuana
SOUTH KOREA (TR) – A court in Seoul has handed a 10-year prison term to an executive of the Kudo-kai yakuza syndicate for his role in an audacious plot to smuggle a massive haul of marijuana into Japan, eports FBS Fukuoka TV (Oct. 8).
The defendant, identified as Kim Jong-bok, is an executive of a gang affiliated with the Kitakyushu City-based Kudo-kai , Japan’s only “particularly dangerous” designated crime syndicate.
According to the court, in March of this year, Kim conspired with a Vietnam-based drug trafficking ring to transport approximately 636 kilograms of marijuana by ship from Thailand to South Korea. His ultimate goal was to smuggle a portion of the illicit cargo onward to yakuza organizations in Japan.
However, the plot was thwarted when South Korean authorities intercepted the shipment, leading to Kim’s arrest and subsequent indictment.
South Korean media reports that the seized marijuana is equivalent to roughly 1.27 million doses. The massive bust marks the largest marijuana smuggling case ever uncovered in South Korea’s history.
During the sentencing hearing at a district court on the 8th, the presiding judge condemned the yakuza boss’s actions.
“The defendant made direct contact with a Vietnamese drug organization and was directly involved in the smuggling process,” the court stated before handing down the 10-year sentence.

韩国（TR）——据FBS福冈电视台（10月8日）报道，首尔一家法院判处工藤会黑帮的一名干部10年监禁，罪名是参与走私大量大麻到日本的大胆阴谋。
被告人金钟福是隶属于北九州市工藤会的一个团伙的头目，工藤会是日本唯一被认定为“特别危险”的犯罪集团。
法庭称，今年3月，金某与一个越南贩毒团伙合谋，计划通过海运将约636公斤大麻从泰国运往韩国。他的最终目的是将部分非法货物走私给日本的黑帮组织。
然而，韩国当局截获了这批货物，挫败了这一阴谋，导致金某被捕并被起诉。
据韩国媒体报道，缴获的大麻相当于约127万剂。此次大规模缉毒行动是韩国历史上破获的最大宗大麻走私案。
8日，在地方法院的量刑听证会上，主审法官谴责了黑帮老大的行为。
“被告直接与越南贩毒组织联系，并直接参与了走私过程，”法庭在宣判 10 年有期徒刑前如此表示。
