A South Korean court has denied prosecutors' request to extend the detention of impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol, Yonhap News reported. Yoon, suspended from power since Dec. 14, has faced investigation for declaring martial law on Dec. 3—a decision swiftly overturned by parliament.
The Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO) initially led the probe but transferred the case to the prosecutors' office, recommending charges of insurrection and abuse of power. Yoon has been in custody since last week, with the CIO expecting prosecutors to request a 10-day detention extension before formal charges are filed.
However, the Seoul Central District Court dismissed the extension request, citing "no substantial reasons" to continue the investigation after the CIO provided sufficient evidence. Prosecutors and the court have yet to comment.
Yoon's legal team has consistently argued the CIO lacks authority to investigate insurrection, emphasizing that any criminal proceedings should follow the Constitutional Court's decision on his impeachment. They welcomed the court's decision, labeling the CIO probe "illegal" and urging prosecutors to restart their investigation.
The case has drawn national attention, as Yoon’s brief martial law declaration shocked the country. His impeachment trial remains ongoing, with the Constitutional Court set to determine his fate.
As public scrutiny intensifies, the court’s ruling highlights concerns over legal jurisdiction and due process in high-profile cases. Yoon's legal battles continue to dominate headlines, reflecting the nation's political tensions.
