"We strongly urge that a lawful investigation be resumed under due process and with his detention," People Power chief spokesman Shin Dong Wook said in a commentary on the same day.
Prior to this, the prosecutor's special martial law investigation headquarters had requested an extension of the detention period after the High Ranking Public Officials Crime Investigation Agency (PPA) referred the case to the prosecution the previous day, but the court did not approve the request.
In response, Chief Spokesperson Shin Seung said, "The decision of the Seoul Central District Court today is in accordance with the plan for the Public Prosecutor's Office and the prosecution to separate their investigation periods and then indict after a supplementary investigation.
It was a brake on the investigation," he said, criticizing the court for "effectively proving that the Public Prosecutor's Office's investigation was 'sloppy' from the start."
