Source: South Korean court issues arrest warrant for Yoon
韩国法院批准了对被弹劾总统尹锡悦的逮捕令，他因本月初试图实施戒严而面临叛乱指控。 据当地媒体报道，首尔西区地方法院周二签发了逮捕令，这是韩国现任总统首次面临逮捕。 尹锡悦于 12 月中旬被弹劾，在宪法法院审理此案期间，他的总统权力被暂停。 除了弹劾之外，政府联合调查小组还对尹锡悦进行了叛乱和滥用权力的调查。尹锡烈无视三次传唤，当局要求签发逮捕令。 尹锡烈的法律团队拒绝配合调查，认为弹劾审判应优先于任何刑事诉讼。 目前尚不清楚何时会进行逮捕，也不清楚当局在执行逮捕令时会有多积极。 到目前为止，总统安全局一直以安全和军事考虑为由，阻止调查人员进入总统办公室或尹永哲的官邸进行法院批准的搜查。
A South Korean court has approved an arrest warrant for impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol, who faces insurrection charges over his attempt to impose martial law earlier this month.
The Seoul Western District Court issued the warrant on Tuesday, marking the first time a sitting South Korean president has faced arrest, according to local media.
Yoon was impeached in mid-December, suspending his presidential powers while the Constitutional Court reviews the case.
In addition to impeachment, Yoon is being investigated for insurrection and abuse of power by a joint government investigation team. Authorities sought the arrest warrant after Yoon ignored three summonses for questioning.
Yoon’s legal team has refused to cooperate with the investigation, arguing that the impeachment trial should take priority over any criminal proceedings.
It is not clear when any arrest attempt will be made or how aggressive authorities will be in attempting to execute the warrant.
The Presidential Security Service has so far prevented investigators from entering the presidential office compound or Yoon’s official residence for court-approved searches, citing security and military considerations.
