Yoon Seok Yeol attempted to declare martial law in the country and was later impeached and charged with sedition.
Investigators have arrested ousted South Korean President Yoon Seok-yol on sedition charges. Yonhap reported this on Wednesday, January 15.
The politician was brought in for interrogation.
According to the Corrupt Practices Investigation Office (CIO), Yoon’s arrest warrant was executed at 10:33 a.m. local time.
According to the suspended president, he decided to voluntarily appear for questioning to “avoid bloodshed.” He considers his persecution illegal.
In early January, investigators tried to arrest Yun, but after hours of confrontations with security at the residence, they called off their efforts.
This time, security barricaded vehicles at the entrance to the residence, but investigators were still able to enter the complex using the stairs.
Let us remind you that on December 3, the President of South Korea declared martial law in the country. He named the reason as the opposition, which, according to him, is an “anti-state force” that paralyzes the work of the country.
South Korea’s parliament has voted to lift martial law. And on December 14, President Yoon Seok Yeol was impeached. On December 31, the court issued a warrant for his arrest.
