US EditionSouth Korea Court Rejects Arrest Warrant for Ex-President Yoon, Yonhap Says
- On June 25, 2025, the Seoul Central District Court declined the special prosecutor's request to detain former President Yoon Suk Yeol in connection with the investigation into his brief declaration of martial law.
- This request followed an intensified investigation into Yoon's brief martial law declaration on December 3, 2024, which triggered political turmoil and legal actions.
- A special prosecutor leading a team of over 200 prosecutors is overseeing charges against Yoon and his former defense minister Kim Yong-hyun, who remains detained on related insurrection allegations.
- Yoon denies wrongdoing, stating the martial law aimed to raise alarm over opposition dominance and election fraud concerns, while his lawyers call the probe politically driven and based on superficial matters.
- Yoon faces a criminal trial for insurrection, but his planned questioning on June 28, 2025, and court decisions suggest ongoing legal scrutiny without immediate detention.
