CIO Recommends Indictment of President Yoon for Insurrection and Abuse of Power Over December 3 Martial Law
Jan 23, 2025, 05:52 AM
South Korea's anti-corruption agency, the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO), has concluded its preliminary investigation into President Yoon Suk Yeol, recommending his indictment on charges of insurrection and abuse of power. The investigation focused on Yoon's short-lived declaration of martial law, which he announced on December 3. After multiple failed attempts to interrogate Yoon, who has been detained since the investigation began, the case has now been transferred to the Supreme Prosecutors' Office for further action. The CIO's decision marks a significant escalation in the legal proceedings against the impeached president, accused of attempting to undermine the constitutional order through his martial law declaration.
