Court issues arrest warrant for impeached President Yoon

법원, '내란 혐의' 윤대통령 체포영장 발부 현직 처음

For the first time ever, an arrest warrant has been issued for a sitting president in South Korea.
A Seoul court on Tuesday morning approved the warrant to arrest impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol, on charges of sedition.
A search warrant was also issued for his residence.
No other details on the warrant have been released.
This comes just a day after the warrant was requested by the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials who are investigating the allegations behind President Yoon Suk Yeol's declaration of martial law on December 3rd.
This was an expected move as President Yoon, for the third time, refused to show up for a questioning session on Sunday.

Is he thinking "oh if I don't show up to court, they can't tell me that I'm wrong and can't charge me with anything"? 😂

Kinda like a kid not wanting to go to the principals office for falsely triggering the school fire alarm 😂

This is the most controversial President who had devastated Korea economically.

[poder]

all the calamity Korea is facing now is caused by this marionette, if he keeps refusing trial, it is time for the people to take action and bring the convict under the law since the court has spoken, so peace and prosperity will shine again in the peninsula

[uber]

[AlphaSorceror]

Never contribute to Korea as their President. There is no respect for that office. It is just a game for politicians to bring Korean president down. How can their citizens do that to their president so often?!

[claydogg]

All of this when he could have resigned. What an idiot.

[JohnJohnsonSrIII]

All because Samsung's CEO was on his way to meet his mistress, Yoon's martial law ruined the CEO's dinner plan.

I think this is over reacting isn't enough that he's no longer the president just leave him alone
