The South Korean prosecution said on Thursday that there is \”no change\” in its decision not to appeal the release of impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol from jail. The statement by the Supreme Prosecutors Office (SPO) came a day after Chun Dae-yup, the chief of the National Court Administration, questioned the prosecution’s decision. The prosecution has come under intense scrutiny after it released Yoon from a detention centre on Saturday following a court ruling that his detention had been invalid due to questions about the legality of the investigation and the exact time the prosecution filed its indictment. By law, the prosecution has seven days, until Friday, to file an immediate appeal against the court decision, Yonhap news agency reported. Earlier on Wednesday, South Korea’s acting Justice Minister Kim Seok-woo termed \”unjust\” a court’s decision to release the impeached President from jail, citing some questions over investigations into his charges. The SPO said it will consult with relevant institutions on ways to swiftly overhaul the relevant rules to remove controversy about legal interpretations and any unconstitutionality.
