Taiwan police said Thursday that evidence shows that Jaycee Chan brought the drugs onto the Chinese mainland from Taiwan. But the police refused to give more details about who sold Jaycee Chan the drugs.
Marijuana is also a second grade forbidden narcotic in Taiwan, which means Taiwan star Kai Ko will face additional punishment when he comes back to Taiwan after he serves a 14-day administrative detention in Beijing. According to reports, Taiwan police filed the case to district attorneys on August 19.
It is reported that Kai Ko met with his manager and family on Aug. 20 in prison, where they all broken down into tears and Ko hugged his family, saying "sorry, sorry!"
Jackie Chan and his wife are also in Beijing but haven't been allowed to visit their son.
Chan said on Wednesday that he was ashamed and saddened over his son's detention for drug charges in Beijing. He apologized to the public on his Weibo microblog post: "Regarding the issue with my son Jaycee, I feel very angry and very shocked. As a public figure, I'm very ashamed. As a father, I'm heartbroken," he wrote.
"I hope all young people will learn a lesson from Jaycee and stay away from the harm of drugs," Jackie Chan wrote.
"I say to Jaycee that you have to accept the consequences when you do something wrong. As your father, I'm going to face the road ahead with you," he added.
Ironically, Jackie Chan was named by the government as an anti-drug ambassador in 2009. Kai Ko, 23, was also part of an anti-drug campaign two years ago, declaring "I don't use drugs."
Chinese state broadcaster CCTV previously aired footage of a police search of Jaycee Chan's home in Beijing. His face was pixelated in the clip, as he pointed out to officers where he stashed bags of marijuana. Ko was also shown crying in prison.
Jaycee Chan will face charges of aiding and abetting other drug users, an offense that carries a maximum sentence of three years' imprisonment. Two other people detained in the same case were accused of selling drugs, and Ko is being charged with using drugs.
President Xi Jinping declared in June that illegal drugs should be wiped out and that offenders should be severely punished. The crackdown has so far involved more than 7,800 people in Beijing alone, according to police.
