ChainCatcher news, according to Yonhap News Agency, the Special Investigation Team of the National Investigation Agency under the Korean National Police Agency, which is responsible for investigating the "12·3 Emergency Martial Law Incident," held a press conference on the 9th.

The investigation team stated regarding the possibility of Yoon Suk-yeol being urgently detained that if the conditions are met, urgent detention can be carried out according to the law. However, it is necessary to consider whether the relevant conditions are satisfied. According to regulations, urgent detention can be implemented when a suspect is accused of crimes that could result in the death penalty, life imprisonment, or a long-term sentence of three years or more, and there is a suspicion of "fleeing or destroying evidence," but due to the urgency of the situation, there is not enough time to request a judge to issue a detention warrant.
