Former South Korea president faces new arrest for the martial law decree – a national star-news.press/wp

On Thursday, the South Korean Court approved the new arrest of former President Yoon Sok Yol on charges of imposing martial law in December, and accepting the prosecutor’s claim that it is the risk of destroying evidence.

The arrest warrant issued by the Central Central Court of Seoul to the detention center near the capital, four months after his release in March, returned when the same court canceled his arrest in January and allowed him to try to rebel without his detention.

His criminal case is dealt with by a team of investigators during the era of the Prosecutor Chu on Sook who are following additional charges on pushing the authoritarian Yun, including obstructing official duties, abuse of power and falsification of official documents.

Zhou team interrogated him twice before submitting an application for his arrest warrant to the court on Sunday.

Yun’s lawyers described the detention request as excessive and unfounded. They did not interact immediately with the court’s decision to agree to the arrest of Yun, who was officially removed from his post in April after the Constitutional Court supported his isolation.

As for the news that affects Canada and around the world, he participated in the urgent news alerts that were delivered directly when it occurs.

Yun’s new arrest can be the beginning of a long time in reservation, and perhaps permanent months or more. Yun can initially be held at the center for up to 20 days, while the private public prosecutor aims to accuse him of additional charges.

If Yun is accused of new charges, this may lead to being arrested for up to six months until the first court ruling. If this court convicted him and the prison sentence is issued, Yun will make up that ruling because the case may be transferred to the Supreme Courts.

The former conservative leader described his imposition in martial law on December 3 as a necessary step to cancel his “anti -anti -” liberal opponents, accusing them of using the majority of their legislative to obstruct his agenda. But the Yun decree lasted only hours, after a quorum of legislators penetrated a portion of armed soldiers in the National Assembly and voted to lift this measure.

Yun was isolated by legislators on December 14th and the charge was charged with January 26 by the prosecutors who accused him of trying to rebel, describing the seizure of his authority as an illegal attempt to seize the legislative body and electoral offices and protested political opponents.

The charges are charged for the death penalty or life imprisonment.

Yun also faces charges of enforcing martial law without following the required legal procedures, such as deliberations by the official cabinet meeting, and the presidential security forces illegally deployed such as the private army to prevent a preliminary attempt by law enforcement to his detention at his residence in early January.

His liberal rival and current President Lee Jay Meongj, who won the June Snap elections to replace him last month, agreed to legislate the launching of the overwhelming investigations into the Yun Martial Law and other criminal allegations related to his wife and administration.
