At the height of the suspicion of ‘Baekhyeon-dong development’ and ‘remittances to North Korea’, the prosecution, which had been working hard to secure CEO Lee Jae-myung, faced an inevitable blow to the investigation.
The prosecution issued a statement to the court about 1 hour and 30 minutes after the warrant was dismissed, saying, “We are very sorry.”

About an hour and a half after hearing the news of the warrant being dismissed, the prosecution issued a statement.
The prosecution said it was difficult to understand the court’s decision and that it was very regrettable.
At the same time, he pointed out that the fact that the court스포츠토토 acknowledged the charge of instigation of perjury meant that it judged that there was no concern about destroying evidence, even though it was a realistic attempt to destroy evidence.
In addition, he sharply criticized the fact that he acknowledged circumstances that raised suspicions of inappropriate intervention by people around him, but said there was no concern about destroying evidence, which was contradictory.
The prosecution said, “We will continue to conduct additional investigations to unwaveringly uncover the truth in accordance with law and principles.”
For the prosecution, which had been working hard for a long time to secure a new case for CEO Lee Jae-myung, a blow to the investigation became inevitable.
The prosecution’s policy has been to emphasize concerns about destruction of evidence to increase the possibility of arrest under the premise that there is no problem in ‘proving the charges’, but the court has judged that ‘proving the charges’ is insufficient, so it has been pointed out that the prosecution has unreasonably requested a warrant. It can come out.
The prosecution may consider whether to reapply for an arrest warrant by reinforcing the facts, but since they have to go through another vote on the arrest motion at the National Assembly while bearing the burden of reapplying for a warrant for the representative of the main opposition party, there is a high possibility that the case will be sent to trial without detention. Observations appear.
