A decision is usually made within 24 hours from the end of the interrogation, and it is expected that the release of General Yoo Jeon will be decided today.
Yoo, who arrived at the court in a convoy, explained the injustice of the arrest to the court.
In particular, he argued that there was a problem in the constitution of the law regarding the alleged breach of trust, which caused at least 110 billion won in damage to the city of Seongnam, and that the amount of breach calculated by the prosecution was not accurate.
In addition, in relation to the bribery allegations, it is reported that the prosecution had to prove in detail whether the money was actually transferred and whether the money was paid for.
On the other hand, the prosecution is known to have expressed its opposition to the release of former general manager Yoo.
The prosecution, who arrested Yoo on the 3rd, extended the arrest period once.
The period of detention for former Director Yoo expires tomorrow, and the prosecution plans to prosecute him before that.
