On the 31st of last month, the Seoul Western District Court issued an arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol, who is accused of leading a civil war.
For the first time in constitutional history, it allowed the arrest of a sitting president.
However, President Yoon Suk Yeol filed an objection against the execution of the warrant, saying it was against the Criminal Procedure Act and the Constitution.Retrying trial for
{ 불허} 'No warrant execution'
Since there is no system to appeal against the issuance of an arrest warrant itself, it is interpreted that the execution itself was a problem.
[Yoon Gap-geun / Yoon Suk Yeol President's lawyer (last month 31st): (Do you have any plan to take legal action against the issuance of a warrant?) There is no way to object because the Korean criminal procedure law does not recognize the warrant appeal system.]
Above all, President Yoon argued that the president is a military secret as the commander-in-chief, and that the president's office and residence cannot be seized and searched without the consent of the person in charge.
It was also based on the fact that the confidentiality of public officials' duties cannot be confiscated without the consent of the supervisory government.
However, the court issued the warrant in a way that ruled out the application of relevant criminal procedure law provisions.
In this regard, President Yoon also took issue with the fact that it was beyond the scope of the judge's authority allowed by the law.
However, this objection is also expected to be reviewed by the judge in charge of the Seoul Western District Court, who issued an arrest warrant and a search warrant for President Yoon, which is unlikely to be accepted.
