A drug dealer with 4,000 members is sentenced to 10 years in prison.

A seller of the so-called "dark web," a drug distribution site with more than 4,000 members, was sentenced to heavy punishment in the first trial.

The Seoul Central District Court sentenced Lee, who is suspected of violating the Narcotics Control Act, to 10 years in prison and ordered him to take an 80-hour drug addiction treatment program today (2nd).

Of the four other daily workers who distributed drugs by hiding them in promised places, two were sentenced to five years in prison and the other two were suspended.

The court explained that all charges are admitted by confession and statement, and that considering the contents of the crime and social harm, we have no choice but to punish them strictly.

Lee and others are accused of selling marijuana and cocaine worth 162 million won on the Internet site 130 times from July last year to April this year.
