SEOUL, July 6 (Xinhua) — The special prosecutor investigating former South Korean President Yun Seok-yul's attempted imposition of martial law has requested a warrant for his detention, a spokesman for the special prosecutor's team said Sunday.
Independent special prosecutor Cho Eun-seok, who is handling the sedition and other charges against the former president, has asked the Seoul Central District Court to issue a warrant.
Charges listed in the warrant include obstruction of justice, abuse of power and falsification of official documents, the spokesman said.
The warrant was requested to detain Yun Seok Yeol for an extended period of time, at least 20 days.
The independent prosecutor's team, which began its investigation on June 18, last month requested an arrest warrant for Yoon Seok-yeol for up to 48 hours, but the court rejected the request because Yoon Seok-yeol's side said he was willing to appear for questioning at the special prosecutor's request.
On June 19, Yoon Seok-yeol ignored a police summons for a third time in a case involving his order to thwart an attempted arrest in January by presidential security forces and delete information from secure phones given to three military commanders.
Let us recall that Yun Seok-yol was detained in the presidential administration building on January 15. On January 26, while in custody, he was charged with organizing a rebellion. However, on March 8, the politician was released after the prosecutor's office decided not to appeal the court's decision.
On April 4, the Constitutional Court upheld a motion to impeach Yun Seok-yul over the attempted imposition of martial law last December, formally removing him from office. –0–
