Former NIS deputy director Park Sung-jae's release from pre-trial detention on January 15, 2025, after a Seoul court rejected prosecutors' extension request, anchors trader consensus at 99.7% against him being in jail by March 31. Indicted December 26 for insurrection and abuse of power tied to President Yoon Suk-yeol's brief December 3 martial law declaration, his case faces standard South Korean judicial timelines unlikely to yield conviction and imprisonment before the deadline. Prosecutors seek a lengthy sentence, but no trial date is set, and political probes into the incident continue amid Yoon's own arrest. Realistic shifts would require expedited hearings or new evidence prompting re-detention, though traders price this as near-impossible given procedural norms.
