Chinese man sentenced to jail for illegal entry into Jeju
Defendant jumped airport fence last October

A local court has sentenced a Chinese man and his accomplices to prison after he was found guilty of illegally entering Jeju by jumping over a barbed wire fence at the local airport.

Jeju District Court Judge Kim Hyeon-hee sentenced the 44-year-old defendant, surnamed Wang, to one year behind bars and two years of probation. Wang arrived on a flight last October. The court found him guilty of jumping an airport fence before going through immigration.

Three other people involved in the case, including a 34-year-old surnamed Jin, were sentenced to 6 months in prison and two years of probation. A final defendant, a 44-year-old surnamed Lee, got four months in prison and a year of probation.

The Jeju Immigration Office canceled Wang’s appeal, ordered him to leave Jeju immediately after his sentence, and forbade him from returning to the island for a period of ten years.

공항 철조망 넘어 밀입국 중국인 징역형

제주공항 철조망을 넘어 밀입국한 중국인과 이를 도운 일당들이 줄줄이 징역형에 처해졌습니다.

제주지방법원 형사2단독 김현희 판사는 지난해 10월 항공편으로 제주공항에 내린 뒤 입국심사를 받지 않고 공항 철조망을 넘어 밀입국한 협의로 구속기소된 44살 왕 모피고인에게 징역 1년에 집행유예 2년을 선고했습니다.

이와함께 왕 씨의 밀입국을 도운 혐의로 기소된 34살 진 모피고인 등 3명에게 각각 징역 6월에 집행유예 2년을, 44살 이 모피고인에게 징역 4월에 집행유예 1년을 선고했습니다.

한편 출입국관리사무소는 왕씨가 항소를 포기하자 곧바로 강제출국 조치를 내리고 10년동안 입국을 금지하기로 했습니다.
