Presidential Office "Inequity with opposition politicians..."Concerns of trust in the fair line of the judiciary"

Regarding the arrest of an incumbent president for the first time in constitutional history, the president's office said it was a result of inequity with other opposition politicians.

A high-ranking official in the presidential office said in a statement to reporters after the arrest of President Yoon, pointing out that it is feared that it will undermine public trust in the fairness of the judiciary.

The official did not specify his name, but it is speculated that he is targeting Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party, who is at risk of justice.

As soon as the day comes, the presidential office is expected to hold a meeting of senior secretaries presided over by Chief of Staff Chung Jin-seok and discuss future countermeasures following the arrest of President Yoon.
