A South Korean court has issued an arrest warrant for impeached and suspended President Yoon Suk Yeol, investigators said on Tuesday, over his short-lived bid to impose martial law.
Yoon briefly suspended civilian rule on December 3, plunging South Korea into its worst political crisis in decades.
He was stripped of his presidential duties by parliament over the action but a constitutional court ruling is pending on whether to confirm the impeachment. "The arrest warrant and search warrant...
were issued this morning," the Joint Investigation Headquarters said in a statement.
