South Korea's Justice Ministry has banned President Yoon Suk Yeol from overseas travel as investigations into allegations of rebellion and martial law escalate amid rising political turmoil.
Bae Sang-up, a Justice Ministry official, explained that the travel ban followed requests from police and prosecutors who seek to delve deeper into the power grab by Yoon.
Despite Yoon's declaration of martial law and the involvement of special forces, observers question whether police will act against a sitting president due to security concerns.
The legal framework allows for questioning and potentially detaining Yoon regarding accusations of rebellion or treason, despite his presidential immunity which complicates direct action by police.
