South Korean police have initiated an investigation into President Yoon Suk-yeol, suspecting his involvement in insurrection, a crime that exceeds the protections offered by presidential immunity and can result in the death penalty. The investigation comes amid growing political tensions in the country.
In addition to Yoon, the opposition has called for an investigation into former Defense Minister, the Chief of Staff of the Army, and the head of the Interior Ministry on similar charges. These developments have fueled political unrest, with calls for accountability escalating in South Korea’s political landscape.
The seriousness of the allegations has raised concerns over the potential impact on the stability of the government and the legal consequences for those involved.
