A court has jailed three members of a violent South Korean gang who assaulted and tied up a family as part of a botched bid to steal money from an illegal betting site.
A branch of the Cheongju District Court sentenced the group’s unnamed mastermind, aged 56, to 10 years behind bars. The incident was part of an attempt to extort funds from an illegal gambling site. The gang members physically attacked and restrained the family during the failed robbery.
