South Korean authorities are intensifying their efforts to arrest impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol after an earlier attempt was blocked by the presidential security service and military troops. The Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials has once again requested that acting President Choi Sang-mok, also the finance minister, order the security service to cooperate with the arrest warrant.
The arrest warrant stems from Yoon's declaration of martial law on December 3, which was swiftly revoked by the National Assembly. Following his impeachment on December 14, Yoon now faces charges of insurrection and treason, while awaiting a ruling from the Constitutional Court, which could take up to six months.
In the midst of these developments, protests from both sides of the political spectrum continue. Thousands gathered in support of Yoon near his residence, while opponents also demonstrated, demanding accountability. Police intervened by blocking the anti-Yoon protesters' march towards the presidential residence.
The legal proceedings surrounding Yoon’s impeachment are ongoing, and if found guilty, he could face permanent removal from office. The Constitutional Court’s decision will be a pivotal moment in South Korea’s political future.
