A South Korean court has approved an arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol, marking the first time a sitting South Korean president faces such a warrant. The warrant was granted on charges of abuse of authority and orchestrating a rebellion. This development comes after President Yoon was impeached by the parliament earlier this month.
The arrest warrant was issued after President Yoon refused to cooperate with investigators, who had summoned him multiple times for questioning. The warrant request was made by the Corruption Investigation Office (CIO), and President Yoon's lawyer has called it 'illegal and invalid.'
