On July 16, the Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors' Office requested an arrest warrant for A on charges of obstruction of business.

A is accused of blocking representatives of the Korean Sport & Olympic Committee from entering the office at the Olympic Park Handball Gymnasium for about two hours on June 16 while draped in the American flag, thereby disrupting work.

Earlier in the day, police applied for a preliminary arrest warrant for A on charges of obstruction of business. Police had previously summoned and questioned A on July 10.

The prosecution has also requested an arrest warrant for a man in his 30s, one of the five individuals accused of illegally searching the women's junior handball national team on June 8.

Previously, police announced that three suspects who broke into the mechanical room at the Handball Gymnasium by damaging the entrance door on June 7 had been referred to the prosecution on charges including breaking and entering and damage to public property.
