韓国かんこく ユン前ぜん大統領だいとうりょうを再さい逮捕たいほ 特殊とくしゅ公務こうむ執行しっこう妨害ぼうがいなどの疑うたがい

Regarding the state of emergency martial law in South Korea, a special prosecutor independent from the government arrested former President Yoon Suk-yeol in the early hours of the 10th on suspicion of obstruction of special official duties and other charges.

Former President Yoon was released in March this year, but has been taken into custody again.

Last year, former South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol, who was dismissed after declaring a state of emergency, was arrested and indicted this January on charges of instigating an insurrection. He was released in March and is currently standing trial while under house arrest.

On the other hand, last month, after Lee Jae-myung, who has criticized the Yoon administration, was inaugurated as president, a special prosecutor was appointed following deliberation in the National Assembly, and an independent investigation from the government began.

The special prosecutor has been investigating former President Yoon on suspicion of obstructing official duties, including allegations that in January this year he instructed the Presidential Security Service to prevent his own detention, and requested an arrest warrant on the 6th of this month.

And the court announced that, after reviewing the case with the person present, it issued an arrest warrant in the early hours of the 10th on the grounds of possible destruction of evidence, and former President Yoon was arrested.

Yoons side, the former president, denies the allegations, saying, This is a misguided investigation based on political motives.

Regarding Mr. Yoon, it has also been reported that, in order to create a reason for emergency martial law, he instructed the military to send drones to North Korea last October and attempted to provoke an attack from a foreign country. The special prosecutor is expected to further accelerate the investigation.
