South Korea’s political arena has been rocked as the Joint Investigation Headquarters announced on Monday that it has sought an arrest warrant for impeached President Yoon Suk-yeol. The warrant pertains to charges related to the imposition of martial law and President Yoon’s failure to appear for questioning.
“The Joint Investigation Headquarters filed an arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk-yeol with the Seoul Western District Court,” the probe team said in a statement.
President Yoon was impeached recently over allegations surrounding his use of martial law powers. His failure to comply with the investigation has led authorities to take this unprecedented step.
The situation has drawn significant attention both domestically and internationally, as observers watch closely how the legal proceedings will unfold. The outcome could have far-reaching implications for South Korea’s political landscape and its commitment to upholding democratic principles.
