The railroad police showed embarrassment when the arrest warrant was dismissed for the assault victim of the Seoul Station assault.

Yesterday (4th), the Seoul Central District Court Tribunal (Judge Dong-Hyun Kim, Deputy Justice of the warrant) said the agency was unable to accept a request for a warrant of arrest because it was illegal to open the front door of Mr. Lee's house without an arrest warrant. The.

There are two requirements for an urgent arrest under the Criminal Procedure Act. There must be considerable suspicion that he has committed a crime for more than three years in a long term, and the suspect must be in danger of destroying or escaping the evidence. If this is the case, the suspect may be arrested without an arrest warrant issued by the judge.
However, the court found that Mr. Lee's case did not meet the urgent arrest requirements. The investigative agency knew the suspect's identity, both the place of residence and the cell phone number, and at the time, Lee was sleeping at home, so there was no situation in which he could destroy evidence or escape.

Eventually, because of the illegal arrest process, Mr. Lee escaped arrest, and the railroad special judicial police were unable to escape criticism.

A railroad police official said that he was "distressed" about the court's decision and said, "It took a long time to get an arrest warrant, and since Mr. Lee was not contacted, an urgent arrest was inevitable. It was an urgent arrest for Mr. Lee." He added, "Why can't you catch the perpetrator?" 
The railroad police were greeted by public opinion because they had not progressed into the investigation to be a week after the Seoul Station assault. In addition, unlike the railroad police' claim that the scene of the incident was a CCTV blind spot and could not confirm Mr. Lee's assault, the controversy grew as the CCTV footage of the assault and escape process was released to the press.

With the dismissal of the arrest warrant, the investigation into Lee is expected to be disrupted, and the railroad police plan to re-disclose Lee's direction for handling new recruits today.
