SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea’s Justice Ministry said Monday that an overseas travel ban was imposed on President Yoon Suk Yeol during an investigation into his short-lived declaration of martial law.
Oh Dong-woon, chief prosecutor of the Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials, said during a parliamentary briefing on Monday that he instructed investigators to seek a travel ban on Yoon. He said the ban has not yet been imposed. In the case of former President Park Geun-hye, who was thrown out of office in 2017 after being impeached by parliament over a corruption scandal, prosecutors failed to search her office and ended up receiving documents outside the compound because presidential officials turned them away.
The Defense Ministry last week separately suspended three top military commanders over their alleged involvement in imposing martial law. They were among those facing the opposition-raised rebellion allegations.
