South Korean president dismisses 'illegal' arrest
The arrest warrant issued for South Korea's ousted President Yoon Suk-Yeol after he declared a short-lived military emergency earlier in December is invalid, his lawyer said, according to Reuters.
"Unless Yoon voluntarily lets them arrest him, there's no way to do it. Should investigators get into a fight with the security services?" Choi Jin, director of the Presidential Leadership Institute in Seoul, told the AP.
Investigators raid military - linked to president
Corruption investigators in South Korea raided the army's counterintelligence unit on Tuesday as part of an investigation into allegations against ousted President Yoon Suk-Yeol. AFP reports.
Yoon has been charged with attempting to start a rebellion in connection with his declaration of a short-term martial law earlier in December. If convicted, he could face the death penalty.
South Korea's military followed the president's orders during the martial law, but it is unclear exactly what investigators were looking for.
