The South Korean agency investigating impeached former President Yoon Suk-yeol has recommended formal charges of insurrection, abuse of power, and obstruction of parliament. His controversial decision to declare martial law last month is at the center of these accusations. The Corruption Investigation Office (CIO) alleges Yoon sought to undermine democracy and illegally mobilized troops against the National Assembly. Though Yoon claims he aimed to confront obstructionists in parliament, the backlash led to widespread protests and his subsequent impeachment, amid ongoing police investigations into his actions.
The agency has recommended impeached former leader Yoon Suk-yeol be charged with insurrection, abuse of power, and obstruction of parliament following martial law declaration.
The CIO accused Yoon of staging a riot and undermining the constitution with his martial law order to suppress opposition and control parliament's actions.
Deputy chief prosecutor Lee Jae-seung stated that Yoon mobilized troops illegitimately and attempted to obstruct the parliament's constitutional rights regarding martial law.
Yoon's brief martial law declaration ignited significant political turmoil, ultimately leading to his impeachment amid accusations of wrongdoing and a lack of evidence.
