Yoon’s Dec. 3 martial law attempt shocked South Korea and resulted in the first arrest warrant for a relaxing senator. He is currently facing a criminal investigation for insurrection.
He is also involved in a separate legal court case over his impeachment on December 14 for violating his constitutional rights with the late-night martial law charter.
After a tense six-hour standoff inside the presidential compound, Oh Dong-woon, the head of the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials ( CIO ), apologized for a failed arrest attempt last Friday.
After being blocked from entering the political substance by a human network of thousands of PSS people and military guards, Oh made an arrest effort.
” We’ll complete our best to achieve our goal by carefully preparing this time with great dedication that the next permit implementation will be the last,” Oh declared before a parliament commission. How long the novel arrest warrant had last was unknown at the time.
Oh did not object when lawmakers called for strong measures to overthrow the presidential soldiers and military personnel inside the substance, but he declined to provide details on what choices were being considered.
In addition to the barricades, more than 2, 000 police reportedly drag out political guards, which are reported in localized media reports that involve mobilizing special forces of specific tactical units and heavy equipment to drive through them. It may take as long as three days to use down presidential security officers.
The CIO and officers were outnumbered in the earlier arrest effort by barricades of more than 200 PSS personnel, some of whom were carrying firearms, as well as troops seconded to national security, as the two sides engaged in altercations, a CIO established has said.
