If the suspicion of the accused committed a crime becomes significant after the interrogation by a judge, and one of the following conditions applies, and as a result, it will be very difficult to prosecute, or try the case, or execute a sentence without a retention order, the accused shall be detained:1. The accused has absconded, or if there are sufficient facts to support the concern of his/her absconding.2. There are sufficient facts to support the concern that evidence may be destroyed, fabricated, or altered, or that accomplices or witnesses may be colluded.3. The penalty for the crime committed is death, life imprisonment, or a minimum of five-year imprisonment, and there is sufficient reason to support the concern for absconding; destroying, fabricating or altering evidence; or colluding with accomplices or witnesses.When the judge is conducting the interrogation, as described in the preceding paragraph, the prosecutor must be present to state the reasons for requesting detention and to provide necessary evidence. However, in the case of the proviso as described in Article 93 paragraph 2, the prosecutor shall be present to state the reasons, and to specify the scope of the restriction or prohibition.The facts, the specific content of each reason, and the relevant evidence on which the provisions of every subparagraph of the first paragraph are based shall be provided to the accused and the defense attorney, and shall be specified in the transcript. However, pursuant to the proviso as described in Article 93 paragraph 2, the case file and evidence, that the court has prohibited the accused and the defense attorney from knowing, shall not be used as the basis for the detention review.The accused and defense attorney may petition the judge to provide the appropriate time for preparing the defense before proceeding with the interrogation, as described in the first paragraph.
