Seoul, January 7 – South Korea’s Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission has received a new arrest warrant for the detainment of impeached former president Yoon, as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged corruption during his time in office. This marks a significant escalation in legal actions against Yoon, who was ousted from power earlier this year amid growing corruption allegations.
The arrest warrant follows continued scrutiny of Yoon’s administration, with several key figures associated with him already facing charges. The Anti-Corruption Agency has emphasized that the evidence against Yoon has become more substantial. This development is likely to intensify political tensions in South Korea, with the public divided over the legitimacy of his impeachment and the ongoing investigation.
