Recently, with the resumption of group travel to South Korea from China, Jeju Island has become one of the most popular destinations for Chinese tourists. However, the Chinese Consulate General in Jeju issued an announcement on the 11th, saying that the behavior of individual tourists going to Jeju casinos to participate in gambling has led to a number of criminal cases such as gambling debt disputes, fights, and brawls. In this regard, Jeju ** has recently stepped up its crackdown on crimes committed by foreigners, especially the handling of illegal and criminal cases involving gambling personnel has been more strict, and all foreigners involved in the case will be detained and investigated.
According to the Chinese Consulate General in Jeju, some Chinese tourists have recently been involved in serious criminal acts in casino activities on Jeju Island, including gambling debt disputes and fights. This situation has aroused great concern from the consulate, and they have repeatedly issued documents reminding Chinese citizens in Jiji to stay away from gambling. However, there are still many people who are in the middle of the casino troubles, which has led to serious consequences.
The Jeju District Prosecutor's Office announced on the 20th that it had prosecuted five people, including a Chinese, for violating relevant laws. The five are accused of going to a hotel room where a Chinese man was staying on November 23 and confining him, demanding money and threatening him. According to prosecutors, the victim started the crime by borrowing 50 million won for gambling at the casino and paying 12 million won in interest for three consecutive days.
The Consulate General of the People's Republic of China in Jeju once again stressed that gambling not only violates the laws and regulations of the destination country, but also can easily lead to various criminal cases, causing serious harm to tourists and others. The Consulate urges all Chinese tourists to strictly abide by local laws and regulations, stay away from gambling activities, and protect their personal and property safety.
At the same time, in response to the recent gambling-related criminal cases, Jeju** said that it will increase its efforts to crack down on foreigners' criminal behavior, especially those involved in gambling. All foreigners involved in the case will face detention and investigation to ensure the serious enforcement of the law and social tranquility.
This series of incidents once again reminds tourists to maintain a good quality of civilization when traveling overseas, participate in tourism activities rationally, and do not indulge in gambling, so as not to cause unnecessary troubles and losses due to illegal behaviors. The Consulate will continue to closely monitor the progress of relevant events and provide necessary assistance and support to Chinese tourists.
