to its suspended president, Yoon Sook Yeol, issued a court of the country, as part of his attempt to impose martial law on the state of Asia at the beginning of the month, announced today, Tuesday (31.12. 24) researchers handling the case. “The arrest warrant and search warrant against President Yoon Sook Yeol (…) were issued this morning,” the agency carrying out the investigation at the expense of the fallen South Korean president said in a statement.
