Overview
The Corruption Investigation Office urged prosecutors to indict President Yoon Suk-yeol on charges of insurrection and abuse of power related to his short-lived martial law declaration last month. Yoon’s actions, which involved mobilizing troops to seal the National Assembly, triggered his impeachment and have led to intense national discourse on his legal battles and the overarching political climate of South Korea. The Constitutional Court is currently determining whether to uphold his impeachment or restore his powers, amidst significant pushback from Yoon and his legal team, who claim that the investigation processes are illegal.
