Violation of the Narcotics Control Act

A violation of the Narcotics Control Act is established when a person who is not authorized to handle controlled substances deals with them.

Trafficking or manufacturing controlled substances, as well as administering them, is subject to even heavier punishment, and an unauthorized person who possesses narcotics is also subject to punishment.

Controlled substances are divided into three categories: narcotics in the narrow sense, psychotropic drugs, and cannabis.

At the police stage, since the investigation begins, you should prepare thoroughly for questioning.

It is necessary to prepare concise and clear answers to the investigator's questions that are consistent with the facts.

Unnecessary explanations or speculative statements should be avoided, and the evidence relating to the case should be organized systematically so that it can be submitted appropriately when needed.

At the prosecution stage, the decision on whether to request a detention warrant and on indictment is made, so you should thoroughly prepare objective materials that can demonstrate that detention is unnecessary.

Supporting materials that show social reliability, such as family relationships and employment, should be organized systematically, and the circumstances of the case, the suspect's attitude of remorse, the likelihood of reoffending, and other grounds for leniency should be written up in detail and submitted.

The questioning of the suspect should focus on confirming the facts, statements that may be unfavorable should be withheld, and where necessary, a strategic response such as exercising the right to remain silent is required.

At the court stage, evidence and materials should be managed thoroughly in preparation for trial, and the defense argument should be organized clearly.

Medical or counseling records that can prove sentencing grounds, such as whether the defendant is a first-time offender, the attitude of remorse, and the will to undergo treatment, should be prepared and submitted, and during the trial it is necessary to argue the key issues concisely and clearly.

Keeping the trial records and evidence systematically in preparation for a possible future appeal is also important.

In narcotics cases, evidence is at the heart of the matter, so we conduct a thorough analysis using a range of professional tools, including polygraph tests, to verify not only the results of drug tests but also the credibility of the account of the circumstances.

Through this, we closely review the authenticity and legal effect of the evidence and secure the objective grounds needed to establish a defense strategy.

A mock interrogation is conducted to prepare for in-depth questioning and suspect examination at the investigation stage.

By recreating conditions similar to an actual investigation environment, the client may experience in advance the types of questions and the manner in which questioning proceeds.

This helps minimize mistakes in responding and supports the client in effectively exercising their rights during the investigation.

For cases involving violations of the Narcotics Control Act, a task force of one to twenty members is organized around attorneys with extensive experience in investigations and trials, providing a joint response across the case as a whole.

Systematic assistance is provided so that a consistent line of defense can be developed from the early investigation stage through to trial.
