State crisis in South Korea
South Korea: President’s accused should be released from custody
A judgment in the office proceedings against the 64-year-old is expected until the middle of the month. South Korea’s accused President Yoon Suk Yeol is now to be released from prison.
A court in South Korea ordered the dismissal of the President Yoon Suk Yeol, accused due to an attempt to overthrow and abuse of power. This was reported by the official news agency Yonhap. Yoon was arrested in mid -January.
Furthermore, the 64-year-old has to answer in two procedures: On the one hand, an office procedure is running at the constitutional court, and he is also charged with a criminal trial. If Yoon is spoken guilty, there is a threat of a long -term prison sentence.
Yoon had plunged South Korea into a deep crisis in early December
A judgment may already be expected in the office. If Yoon’s survey is confirmed, new elections would have to be scheduled within 60 days.
On December 3, Yoon, in the course of a household dispute with the opposition, proclaimed war law at short notice and thus plunged his country into a deep state crisis. At the time, he accused the opposition of being infiltrated by communist forces. There is no evidence of this.
Political turbulence has sustainably damaged South Korea’s international reputation and also slowed down economic growth.
