SEOUL: A South Korean courtroom on Friday (Jan 24) rejected the prosecutors’ workplace request to increase the detention of impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol over a prison investigation into his short-lived martial regulation on Dec 3, the Yonhap information company reported.
The Corruption Investigation Workplace for Excessive-ranking Officers (CIO) on Thursday requested the prosecutors’ workplace to indict Yoon for revolt and abuse of energy.
Yoon, impeached and suspended from energy on Dec 14, has been incarcerated since final week whereas investigators probe his try and impose martial regulation – a transfer that shocked the nation though it was overturned inside hours by parliament.
The CIO has stated Yoon’s detention is because of finish round Jan 28, and so they count on prosecutors to ask the courtroom to increase it for an additional 10 days earlier than they formally cost the president.
However the Seoul Central District Courtroom rejected the request by the prosecutors’ workplace.
The prosecutors’ workplace and the courtroom weren’t accessible for remark.
