Seoul:
The South Korean police on Wednesday raided former President Yun Suk Yeol and his security details office, a spiral in the impeachment leader as part of a criminal investigation.
Yun declared martial law in December, which sent armed soldiers to Parliament before reversing the syllabus. He was quickly impeached by the MPs, but opposed the arrest in a criminal investigation for weeks.
After a long deadlock, in which his safety expansion played an important role, he became the head of the state sitting in South Korea to be arrested in January. He was later released on procedural basis.
Police said on Wednesday that he started execution of a discovery and seizure warrant in the Presidential office and the President’s residence campus “.
The police confiscated the encrypted phone server and raided the office of the President’s Security Details, as well as the head of their security, as part of the investigation that he was part of the investigation of “the alleged obstruction of arrest warrant execution”.
Yun spent weeks in his premises in January, protected by members of the President’s Security Service, who was loyal to him.
His guards had installed prickly wires and barricades at the residence, forcing hundreds of police officers and investigators to use ladder and perimeter walls to reach the main building.
At that time, he was booked on charges of obstruction, the police said this week that “in principle” an inquiry would be necessary.
He said that the police also seized CCTV footage from the presidential office, as part of a separate investigation in former internal minister Lee Song-Min, he said.
It was in court on Monday for the first official day of his criminal trial on allegations of rebellion.
Yun denied that he revolted.
Their next hearing is scheduled for 21 April, experts said that the test is likely to run for months.
