Yoon has been incarcerated since last week as the researchers examined his attempt to impose military rules on Dec 3, a move that shocked the nation and beyond even though it was overturned within days by congress.
The CIO was launched in 2021 as an independent anti-graft bureau to investigate high-ranking leaders including the president and their family members and has led a joint team involving authorities and the military government, while prosecutors carry out their own sensor.

Yoon’s doctors have repeatedly said the CIO has no power to control his event as the law stipulates a wide-ranging record of high-ranking officials and violations it can check, but has no mention of rebellion.
