A South Korean court has issued an arrest warrant for impeached, suspended President Yoon Suk Yeol, investigators said Tuesday, over his short-lived bid to impose martial law on the country. Yoon briefly suspended civilian rule this month, plunging South Korea into its worst political crisis in decades.
A South Korean court has issued an arrest warrant for impeached, suspended President Yoon Suk Yeol, investigators said Tuesday, over his short-lived bid to impose martial law on the country.
The conservative leader faces criminal charges of insurrection, which could result in life imprisonment or even the death penalty. Yoon's lawyer called the arrest warrant for the impeached president"illegal and invalid", saying investigators lacked the authority to probe the president. Police were deployed early Tuesday outside Yoon's residence in central Seoul, in a likely bid to head off scuffles.
A 10-page prosecutors' report seen by AFP stated that Yoon authorised the military to fire weapons if needed to enter parliament during his failed martial law bid.
