A 53-year-old Japanese-Korean yakuza member went on trial at Suwon for shipping about 636 kg of cannabis from Thailand to Incheon port in March 2026 as part of a 646 kg smuggling operation; prosecutors called it the largest cannabis import for domestic sale and sought 20 years. The case began with intelligence from the National Intelligence Service and was handled by the joint drug headquarters. The 29 September report covered the sentencing request, not a verdict.[1]
