SOUTH KOREAN investigators asked prosecutors today to charge the country’s detained President Yoon Suk Yeol over his short-lived imposition of martial law last month.
Investigators accused the president of abusing power and obstructing parliament.
The Corruption Investigation Office (CIO) for High-Ranking Officials said that President Yoon staged a “riot” and sought to undermine the constitution when he declared martial law on December 3 and sent troops and police officers to seal the National Assembly.
