With Youtuber Lee Geun, a former captain of the Navy Special Fleet (UDT), who left the country to join the Ukraine International volunteers army, recently reported Earth 2, there is a high interest in the level of punishment he will actually receive.
On the 6th, Lee announced that he had left for Ukraine through Instagram and YouTube community. He said at the time, "I tried to leave the country after official procedures in Ukraine, but I felt the opposition of the Korean government and I was in conflict." "I could not just stay in this situation without helping Ukraine through the skills, knowledge and expertise we have because we are punished."
"My team members have been selected by me, and when I return alive, I will be punished for being responsible for everything." "I will raise my status on behalf of our country as the first Korean volunteers army. Then I will meet you in Korea after the mission. "
What will he be punished if he returns to Korea? Just by visiting Ukraine, designated as a travel-prohibited country first, he can be punished by passport law. In fact, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has accused Lee Geun and two members of his team of violating the passport law, which could face up to one year in prison or a fine of up to 10 million won under Article 26 of the passport law.
According to a report by the JoongAng Ilbo on August 8, Lee Yoon-je, a former prosecutor and ambassador to the International Civil Aviation Organization of Montreal, Canada, said, "If you are a Korean, you will be subject to Korean law even if you go abroad." "If you participate in actual combat, you can be guilty of pre-() crime, and if you kill a person, you can use explosives by using explosives such as murder, grenades, and harming people's lives, bodies and property," he explained.
Article 111 of the Criminal Code stipulates that if a person commits a pre-crime, he or she will be sentenced to imprisonment for more than one year. If he or she has plotted it, he or she will be punished by imprisonment for up to three years or fines of up to 5 million won. If the war is committed, the criminal law may be punished by death, imprisonment, or imprisonment for more than seven years under Article 119 of the Criminal Code.
On the other hand, Lee said on the 15th, "Diplomatic Ministry, Police Agency, and the people. Thank you for your concern. But I can not go back to Korea now, "he said." Now the situation is very serious and all the fighters will withdraw, and there will be no more left here. I will do my best to help Ukraine. I will contact you when it is time to return home later.
