Court’s Decision
Despite the warrant cancellation, Yoon remains in jail as prosecutors may appeal the ruling. The court stated that charges were filed after his detention period ended.
Legal Arguments
Yoon’s lawyer urged prosecutors to comply with the court’s release order. The defense insists that detaining him any longer is unlawful.

Possible Appeal

Ongoing Uncertainty
While supporters celebrate the decision, critics argue that Yoon’s legal troubles are far from over. The case remains a major political issue.
