This market will resolve to "Yes" if the listed individual is arrested by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". A qualifying arrest/detention includes: * Being taken into physical custody by law enforcement authorities (including federal, state, local, military, or international law enforcement) * Voluntarily surrendering to law enforcement authorities in response to an arrest warrant * Being formally booked or processed following detention * Being handcuffed by a state authority and taken to a police station * Surrendering at a police station or courthouse with their attorney * Being placed under house arrest or electronic monitoring The following scenarios will NOT qualify as an arrest/detention * An arrest warrant being issued but not executed * Being briefly detained but not arrested (e.g. such as in the South Korean judicial system when an individual is awaiting a judge’s decision on whether to grant a detention warrant) * Being questioned or interviewed without arrest * Being named in an indictment without arrest The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the arresting government and law enforcement, however a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Active DOJ investigations into former CIA Director John Brennan over alleged false statements to Congress regarding the Russia probe and related matters have advanced through subpoenas, grand jury activity, and personnel shifts, sustaining elevated trading interest. Dr. Anthony Fauci faces a Senate contempt referral after invoking the Fifth Amendment during 2026 COVID-19 testimony, testing the scope of a prior presidential pardon. Former Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero remains under formal investigation by Spain’s Audiencia Nacional on influence-peddling and money-laundering charges tied to a 2021 airline bailout, with court appearances and searches already conducted. These parallel probes into high-profile officials, occurring amid shifting executive and legislative priorities, represent the primary near-term catalysts traders weigh against procedural and evidentiary barriers before the January 2027 resolution date.
