Ahn, 42, who was arrested and charged for attempting to enter the Chinese embassy and police station while dressed as the main character from the American film 'Captain America,' received a sentence of 1 year and 6 months in prison during the first trial.
Judge Ku Chang-kyu of the Seoul Central District Court's Criminal Division 12 stated at the sentencing date for Ahn's charges of attempted trespassing that "all the charges are deemed guilty," sentencing Ahn to 1 year and 6 months in prison.
The court noted that "Ahn committed this act and crime with the intention of attracting public attention for his personal and political purposes."
It further stated, "Ahn openly showed an extreme disregard for police officers and their duties during the crime process," adding, "Severe punishment for Ahn's actions is inevitable to ensure the protection of the state and law and order and respect for public authority."
Earlier, Ahn had been undergoing police investigation for attempting to unlawfully enter the Chinese embassy in South Korea while dressed as Captain America on the evening of Feb. 14. Subsequently, he was arrested in the act on Mar. 20 after breaking the glass of the entrance door on the first floor of the Namdaemun Police Station in an attempt to enter. He is also accused of swearing at police officers during the disturbance and damaging the security entrance of the police station.
Additionally, Ahn presented a "fake U.S. military ID" to the police and is facing charges of forgery and use of a false document. Ahn is reported to have claimed to be Captain Michael Peters, a "black agent" of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). However, investigations revealed that he is a Korean with no U.S. entry records and a former Army private.
