Seungri Admits To Illegal Gambling Charges, Investigations Still Ongoing After 10 Hours
Earlier today, Seungri arrived at the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency in Jungnang-gu for questioning and investigations over allegations that he illegally gambled billions of won in casinos in Las Vegas.
His investigations began at 9:55 am KST, and as of the writing of this article, they are still undergoing, which means he has been undergoing questioning for the past 10 hours.
While he was quiet during his brief meeting with reporters outside the police station, it is being reported that he did in fact admit to most of the gambling charges that were handed to him earlier by police.
However, he has denied the charge levied against him for using “Hwanchigi”, or unregistered foreign transactions that are used to circumvent detection by banks. Seungri currently carries 9 charges against him, including prostitution, mediating prostitution, embezzlement, and destruction of evidence, dating back to June in relation to his ties with the Burning Sun scandal.
Yang Hyun Suk is scheduled to be questioned tomorrow over the charges levied against him, including habitual gambling, illegal foreign exchange, and his 2014 case where he allegedly solicited prostitution to foreign investors.
