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

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 YoungCNBLUE's Jonghyun, and former F.T. Island member Jonghun as members.

Seems Seungri is a walking crime magnet.

Just waiting for authorities to book him for breathing illegally!

What's curious though... no one else within his agency (besides YHS) has been implicated. Just wonder if many knew of his dealings and so, tip-toed around him.
