Attracting Internet gambling youth and sending money and extortion gangs

The North Chungcheong Provincial Police Agency said it sent two people, including a gangster in his 20s, to custody on charges of attracting teenagers to an Internet gambling center to pay gambling debts and extort money and goods.

A and others have been operating a fake gambling site in Chungju, North Chungcheong Province, for about two weeks since July, attracting victims by recruiting four teenagers outside of school.

In addition, he is accused of threatening the victims to take 30 million won worth of money and valuables when he failed to pay them back after lending them points used on the site.

They were found to have forced the victims to work part-time to pay them back or threatened to distribute gambling videos on their parents' workplace websites.
