During the impeachment trial of former President Yoon Suk-yeol, the men who threw eggs at Democratic Party of Korea legislator Baek Hyeyun in front of the Constitutional Court were handed over to prosecutors.
The Jongno Police Station in Seoul announced on the 10th that they had transferred a man in his 30s, known as A, and a man in his 60s, known as B, without detention on charges of throwing eggs at legislator Baek and others.
They are charged with throwing eggs at legislator Baek and others who were holding a press conference in front of the Constitutional Court on March 20, during the impeachment trial of former President Yoon (joint assault under the Act on the Punishment of Violences, etc.).
A purchased eggs at a convenience store nearby and threw six eggs from across the road. B, who was beside him, was found to have also thrown one egg that A was holding.
Immediately after the incident, the police formed a dedicated team and requested the National Forensic Service to examine the eggs and plastic bottles secured at the scene, and analyzed closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage to identify the suspects.
