The two men were arrested and sent to the Busan District Prosecutors' Office and the Changwon District Prosecutors' Office on suspicion of violating the Illegal Drugs Control Act. In June, Mr. A used international mail to send about 20 million won (about 2.2 million yen) worth of marijuana.

After being arrested, Mr. B, a resident of Changnyeong, South Gyeongsang Province, also denied the allegations, saying that he had a different recipient, but his lie was exposed during an investigation by Busan Customs.
A Busan customs official said, "We are seeing a steady stream of cases where perpetrators create fictitious contact details to avoid being accused of smuggling or pose as victims to confuse investigations.
"We will do our utmost to tackle the smuggling methods used by foreign illegal drug offenders," he said.
