Park Wang-yeol (48), the so-called "drug king" who became the real motif of the movie "The Crime City 2" and the drama "Casino," has been repatriated to Korea for the first time in nine years.

Park Wang-yeol left Angeles, Philippines, at 2:35 a.m. on the 25th and arrived at Incheon International Airport at 6:41 a.m., about four hours later. Park Wang-yeol, who appeared in front of the camera around 7:11 a.m., moved with the convoys wearing a baseball cap and handcuffed. He also made an unpleasant expression with his face raised without covering his face with a mask.

He boarded a waiting convoy about three minutes after appearing at the departure hall. After securing the recruits, the investigation authorities immediately transferred Park Wang-yeol to the Gyeonggi Northern Office's Metropolitan Crime Unit and launched a full-fledged investigation.

Park Wang-yeol is well-known as the main character of the true story of a brutal crime in the movie "The Crime City 2." The Disney+ drama "Casino" also drew great attention based on his actual crime.

In fact, Park Wang-yeol is the main culprit of the 2016 Sugarcane Plant Murder Case, which shot and killed three Koreans in Bacolo City, Philippines.

He was accused of killing three Koreans who fled to the Philippines after committing a similar reception crime worth 15 billion won in Korea and stealing 720 million won that they were trying to invest in the casino business.

Park Wang-yeol, who escaped from prison twice while imprisoned, was eventually sentenced to 60 years in prison for murder and other charges. However, even after imprisonment, he continued his so-called "luxury prison life" by using Telegram to distribute large-scale drugs in Korea, causing outrage.

The government has strongly pushed for repatriation since nine years ago, fearing that neglect of Park Wang-yeol's behavior would undermine judicial justice and lead to a series of copycat crimes by other overseas prison inmates.

The repatriation was made on the 3rd when President Lee Jae-myung requested temporary extradition at a summit with Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. during his state visit to the Philippines. After nine years of consultation between the leaders of the two countries, the two countries paid the price for their crimes in Korea.

The "Special Response Task Force for Transnational Crimes," consisting of the Ministry of Justice and the National Police Agency, is expected to begin detailed judicial procedures as soon as Park Wang-yeol's whereabouts are taken over. In addition to the murder charge, the investigation authorities plan to intensively investigate the drug distribution channels that they have committed while imprisoned.
