South Korea's Yoon Defies Third Summons Amid Martial Law Force Authorization Allegations
Dec 28, 2024, 09:31 PM
South Korea's suspended President Yoon Suk Yeol has been accused by prosecutors of authorizing the military to use force, including firing their weapons, to enter parliament during his failed attempt to impose martial law. This revelation comes from a prosecutors' report seen by AFP. Yoon, who was suspended earlier this month, faces an investigation for rebellion, a crime that could lead to life imprisonment or the death penalty. Amidst this, Yoon has defied a third summons by the Corruption Investigation Office for questioning related to the martial law incident, increasing speculation about the potential issuance of an arrest warrant. Yoon's legal team argues that the Corruption Investigation Office lacks the authority to investigate charges of rebellion, prioritizing his defense in the ongoing impeachment trial at the Constitutional Court over the summons.
