I am about to be investigated as a drug courier. I want to know the punishment and how to respond.

If you are about to be investigated on charges of being a drug courier, you must be aware that the level of punishment varies greatly depending on the type of drug.

If you transported drugs containing cannabis components or zolpidem, you may be sentenced to imprisonment for up to 5 years or a fine of up to 50 million won.

On the other hand, if you transported psychotropic drugs such as methamphetamine or synthetic cannabis, you may be sentenced to imprisonment for up to 10 years or a fine of up to 100 million won.

In addition, if the act includes import/export of drugs or trading/brokerage, you may be subject to up to life imprisonment or imprisonment of 5 years or more.

Since drug courier cases carry very heavy punishment, it is most important at the police stage to thoroughly prepare for the investigator's expected questions and answers.

If you carefully secure relevant evidence with a specialized attorney and respond to the investigation, it will be of great help in the subsequent investigation and trial process.

Thorough preparation can have a positive impact on sentence reduction, so I strongly recommend that you receive specialized legal assistance.
