On Saturday, January 25, the Central District Court of Seoul again rejected the request of the prosecutor's office to extend the arrest of President Yong Sok Yol. Before that, he had already rejected the request to extend the term of detention in the custody of the detached head of state.

This is reported by Yonhap, referring to representatives of the prosecutor's office. A special prosecution group filed a new petition to the court to extend the arrest until February 6.

The court rejected it, saying it saw little need for the indictment to "

The Corrupt Practices Investigation Office (CIO) referred Yoon Seok Yeol's case to prosecutors earlier this week because the agency does not have the legal authority to bring charges against the president..

“In asking for an extension, prosecutors cited the need to extend the investigation, including Yun’s personal interrogation, since the president has largely refused to cooperate with the investigation,” the article said.

In connection with the court’s refusal, the prosecution should now decide whether the president is charged before it must release him until Monday. It is very likely that the prosecutor's office will indict the head of state on Sunday.

Let us recall that law enforcement agencies are investigating Yoon’s activities in connection with the introduction of martial law on December 3, which led to a political crisis in the country.

Already on January 19, a Seoul court issued a warrant for the prolonged detention of President Yoon Seok-yol. After that, investigators got the opportunity to keep the president for up to 20 days, including those days that he had already spent at the Center for Concession after the detention in his residence.

Not all citizens liked this decision - supporters of Yun Sok Yolya defeated the court, who sent him into custody.
