Seungri summoned by police for allegedly violating restaurant business laws for 'Monkey Museum' club

Mar 21, 2019

Seungri has been summoned for police questioning for allegedly violating restaurant business laws.

On March 21, reports revealed the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency booked Seungri on the charges of violating the 'Food Sanitation Act' for the 'Monkey Museum' club, which he ran alongside former 'Yuri Holdings' CEO and controversial chatroom member Yoo In Suk. During his questioning, he was faced with previously reported suspicions of opening the business as a general restaurant rather than an entertainment bar to lower tax liability.

Despite the illegal practice, which broke the Enforcement Decree of Food Sanitation Law, the 'Monkey Museum' was not investigated by the district office. The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's Special Detective Division is now investigating whether this oversight is linked to a cover-up by high-ranking police officers.

As previously reported, Seungri has also been investigated for allegations of drug use, providing escort services, and other issues related to the controversial chatroom that included him, Jung Joon Young, CNBLUE's Jonghyun, and former F.T. Island member Jonghun as members.
