Meanwhile, on the 27th, Judge Yoo Chang-hoon, head judge in charge of warrants at the Seoul Central District Court, dismissed the arrest warrant requested by the prosecution after conducting the pre-arrest suspect hearing (warrant hearing) for Lee.



Judge Yoo stated, "Considering the necessity of guaranteeing the suspect's right to defense and the degree of concern for evidence tampering, it is difficult to see that there are grounds and necessity for detention to the extent that the principle of non-detention in investigation should be excluded for the suspect."
