[Update] Police Briefing on Seungri investigation and arrest warrant application
The police filed a 200 page arrest warrant report for Yoo and Seungri to the prosecution yesterday.
Included in this report are 4 charges:
- embezzlement
- prostitution solicitation
- prostitution (buying of sexual service, newly added)
- violation against the food sanitation law
The Arrest Warrant did not include the charges of distributing illegal footage, because the police have not been able to secure any victims. The arrest warrant request is based on the principle that only charges that can be underlined by facts are included.
This means charges like the distribution of illegal footage have been removed.
"We didn't apply for an arrest warrant because we haven't been able to secure any victims", a police official said. "we did include only the confirmed facts"
