Pretrial detention warrants for Seungri and Yoo In Suk have been requested.

The police requested the warrants on May 8 and explained, “It appears that the two conspired for acts including mediation of prostitution and embezzlement.” The police added that exact details cannot be revealed as the case is still under investigation.

A pretrial detention warrant allows for a suspect to be detained for longer than 48 hours. It is granted if the court rules that there is potential for a suspect to flee or destroy evidence.

Seungri and Yoo In Suk are being suspected of mediating prostitution on several occasions in 2015 and 2017 and embezzling funds from Monkey Museum, Burning Sun, and more.
