Crisis política en Corea del Sur (1)

By Jordi Bou

January 3, 2025 - Investigadores sudcoreanos han arrestado al presidente destituido Yoon Suk Yeol por presunta insurrección por su intento de imponer la ley marcial, una medida que causó agitación en el país

South Korea’s presidential guards and military troops prevented authorities from arresting impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol on Friday in a tense six-hour stand-off inside Yoon's compound in the heart of Seoul.

The country's anti-corruption agency said it withdrew its investigators due to concerns about their safety.

Yoon, who has been isolated since he was impeached and suspended from power on Dec 14, was not seen during the standoff, he said.

Yoon’s arrest warrant, approved by a court on Dec 31 after he ignored multiple summons to appear for questioning, is viable until Jan 6.
