An acquaintance urgently asked me, so I delivered a bag without even knowing what it was. However, I later found out that there were drugs inside it, and I ended up undergoing a police investigation. I have never used or sold drugs and merely delivered it, so will I be punished even in such a case? I feel so wronged and worried. Daegu drug attorney, I would appreciate an answer.

Hello, this is a Daegu drug attorney. I will explain in detail what punishment a drug courier receives.
The offense of drug transportation is a crime treated as importantly as the purchase and use of drugs.
A statement that it was a mistake or curiosity does not carry much effect, and there is a high possibility of receiving severe punishment for a violation of the Act on the Control of Narcotics based on the mere fact of transporting drugs.
If the charge of the offense of drug transportation is recognized, the person is subject to imprisonment of up to 5 years or a fine of up to 50 million won.
In addition, an attempted offender is also subject to punishment, so caution is needed. You should note that a drug courier has a high possibility of an actual custodial sentence even for a first offense.
The reason is that drug transportation plays an important role in the drug distribution network, and where it is linked to domestic or foreign drug organizations, the social danger is judged to be great.
Therefore, if you come under investigation on a charge of being a drug courier, you must prepare a prompt and accurate legal response.
Rather than responding to a drug case alone, please keep in mind that the possibility of avoiding an actual custodial sentence increases only when you prepare a defense strategy together with a Daegu drug attorney who can minimize your charges and respond thoroughly.
