South Korea in turmoil: President Yoon Suk Yeol under pressure before arrest!

On January 3, 2025, a military unit in South Korea prevented the arrest of the suspended President Yoon Suk Yeol. The incident occurred on the premises of Yoon's office, where the investigators of the authority for corruption determination had previously started to arrest. There have already been assumptions that the security service could thwart the law enforcement officer.

Since the New Year's Day, thousands of followers Yoons have been protesting in front of the official seat and blocking access for the investigators. The authorities would like to ask Yoon about his short -term imposition of war law a month ago that led to a state crisis. So far, Yoon has ignored three preaching of the law enforcement officers. A Yoon lawyer announced that it was legally against the arrest order, which was described as "invalid" and "illegal".

background of the investigation and legal steps

The defense tries to obtain an injunction against the arrest for power abuse and turmoil. The arrangement for arrest is valid until Monday. A use of the investigators at the weekend could be unsure because more people might stand in the way. A assignment on Monday could be problematic due to the approaching deadline.

In a separate report, it is added that Yoon Suk Yeol is under an arrest warrant against which various supporters block access to his official seat. In a situation in which demonstrators broke a barrier near the presidential office, the police violently dissolved a blockade of around 30 followers. On New Year's Day, Yoon said that the sovereignty of South Korea was violated, and announced that it would fight for the protection of the country.

Background of the investigation is that Yoon had briefly proclaimed war law a month ago in a budget dispute. The parliament later voted for an office survey, which is currently being checked by the Constitutional Court. Yoon missed three prayers from the authority for corruption determination, and the court approved the application to arrest for turmoil and abuse of power. Yoon is the first President of South Korea to arrest a arrest in an term. The arrangement for the arrest expires on Monday, and the investigators would have 48 hours after a arrest to ask Yoon and decide on an arrest warrant. South Korea is in a serious state crisis, while the previous finance minister and Prime Minister Choi Sang Mok temporarily heads the state business.
