The South Korean Court Begins Hearing the Impeachment Case of the President.

The Constitutional Court of South Korea is examining the impeachment case of President Yoon Suk Yeol

The Constitutional Court of South Korea has begun hearing the impeachment case of President Yoon Suk Yeol, who attempted to impose martial law in the country on December 3. In this regard, investigators plan to question the president this week, the spokesman for the Constitutional Court said.

All six current judges of the Constitutional Court will be present at the first meeting regarding the impeachment.

The National Assembly voted for the impeachment of the president due to his unsuccessful introduction of martial law. The court has been granted six months to decide whether to remove the president from office.

To investigate the president's involvement in these events, a group of investigators from the police, the Ministry of Defense, and the anti-corruption agency plan to summon Yoon for questioning.

The president did not appear for the summons for questioning by the prosecution.

On December 3, Yoon Suk Yeol announced martial law, which sparked an angry reaction from the opposition and the public. Despite the decision being rescinded, the opposition has issued an ultimatum to the president to resign, and law enforcement has initiated an investigation against him. The police also conducted searches at Yoon's office as part of the investigation.
