    South Korean court issues warrant to detain impeached president

    South Korean court issues warrant to detain impeached president

    South Korean court issues warrant to detain impeached president Yoon Suk Yeol. As his supporters stage a rally demanding the arrest of impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol outside of the Constitutional Court in Seoul.

    South Korean anti-corruption agency said on Tuesday a court has issued a warrant to detain impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol.

    The Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials said in a statement that the Seoul Western District Court issued the warrant to detain Mr Yoon over his short-lived martial law decree earlier this month.

    The agency said it is investigating whether his declaration of martial law amounted to rebellion.

    Mr Yoon’s powers have been suspended since the opposition-controlled National Assembly voted to impeach him on December 14.

    The Constitutional Court will determine whether to dismiss Mr Yoon as president of South Korea or reinstate him.

    He has ignored repeated requests by investigative authorities to appear for questioning and allow them to search his office.

    Mr Yoon has the presidential privilege of immunity from criminal prosecution, but it does not extend to allegations of rebellion or treason.

    The anti-corruption agency said it has no immediate plans on how to proceed with the court-issued warrants.

    Many observers earlier doubted that authorities would forcefully detain him because of the potential for clashes with the presidential security service.

    They say the security service likely will not permit searches of Mr Yoon’s office, citing a law that prohibits searches on sites with state secrets without approval from those in charge of those areas.
