Yoo Byung-ho, a member of the Board of Audit and Inspection (BAI) suspected of overseeing a lenient audit regarding the relocation of the presidential residence, has been arrested.

The Seoul Central District Court determined that there is a risk that Yoo could destroy evidence.

Yoo is accused of unfairly intervening to downplay or cover up the results of an audit concerning the relocation of the presidential office and residence while serving as the Secretary General of the Board of Audit and Inspection during the Yoon Suk Yeol administration.
