韩国被弹劾的总统尹锡悦上个月因宣布失败的戒严而被捕并接受了数小时的讯问。他在首尔官邸外的清晨对峙后自首。
他周三的拘留使他成为该国历史上第一位被捕的现任总统。
尹锡悦在一份声明中说,“我决定回应腐败调查办公室的调查 – 尽管这是一项非法调查 – 以防止不幸的流血事件。”他指的是领导刑事调查的高级官员腐败调查办公室。
腐败调查办公室的官员说,尹锡悦在两个半小时的询问中拒绝交谈,并拒绝拍摄。 周三晚上,有人看到他的总统车队离开腐败调查办公室。 尹锡悦预计将被关押在首尔拘留中心,其他知名人士此前曾在那里拘留。
根据现有的逮捕令,他可以被关押长达 48 小时接受讯问。 然后,当局必须决定是否释放他或寻求新的逮捕令,将他拘留长达 20 天。
South Korea’s impeached president, Yoon Suk Yeol, was arrested and questioned for hours over his ill-fated declaration of martial law last month, handing himself in after an early-morning standoff outside his official residence in Seoul.
His detention on Wednesday makes him the first sitting president in the country’s history to be arrested.
“I decided to respond to the CIO’s investigation – despite it being an illegal investigation – to prevent unsavoury bloodshed,” Yoon said in a statement, referring to the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO) that is heading the criminal inquiry.
Officials from the CIO said Yoon refused to talk during two and a half hours of questioning and refused to be filmed. His presidential motorcade was seen leaving the CIO offices late on Wednesday evening. Yoon is expected to be held at Seoul Detention Centre, where other high-profile figures have previously spent time.
He can be held for questioning for up to 48 hours on the existing arrest warrant. Authorities must then decide whether to release him or seek a fresh warrant to detain him for up to 20 days.
