被弹劾的韩国总统尹锡悦的律师周四未能在法庭上努力确保他获释，此前一天，他在住所被拘留接受与上个月戒严有关的叛乱指控讯问。
尹锡悦周三在高级官员腐败调查办公室总部接受了 10 多个小时的讯问后，被送往该国首都首尔附近的一个拘留中心，在此期间，他行使了保持沉默的权利。 尹锡悦周四拒绝了反腐败官员的进一步询问，因为他的律师坚持认为调查是非法的。
律师要求首尔中央地区法院考虑释放他，质疑首尔西区法院对尹的拘留令的有效性。
但中央地区法院周四晚些时候拒绝了他们的请愿书。
预计调查人员将在未来几天内将他逮捕。
反腐败机构正在与警方和军方就尹锡悦的戒严声明是否构成企图叛乱进行联合调查，有 48 小时时间要求法院命令正式逮捕或释放他。
Lawyers for impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol failed in their court effort to secure his release on Thursday, a day after he was detained at his residence for questioning over rebellion allegations linked to his martial law declaration last month.
Yoon was sent to a detention center near the country’s capital, Seoul, after undergoing more than 10 hours of questioning on Wednesday at the headquarters of the Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials, during which he exercised his right to remain silent. Yoon refused further questioning by the anti-corruption officials on Thursday as his lawyers maintained that the investigation was illegal.
Lawyers had asked the Seoul Central District Court to consider his release, questioning the validity of the detention warrant for Yoon issued by the Seoul Western District Court.
But the Central District Court denied their petition late Thursday.
Investigators are expected to move to place him under arrest in the coming days.
The anti-corruption agency, which is leading a joint investigation with the police and the military over whether Yoon’s martial law declaration amounted to attempted rebellion, has 48 hours either to request a court order for his formal arrest or to release him.
