President Yoon Suk Yeol’s authorized protection staff on Monday filed complaints with the prosecution in opposition to the pinnacle of the state anti-corruption company and 10 others over final week’s try and execute a warrant to detain the impeached president.

An try by the Corruption Investigation Workplace for Excessive-ranking Officers (CIO) to hold out the warrant for Yoon’s detention failed final Friday after an hourslong standoff with safety workers on the presidential residence in central Seoul.

Yoon’s attorneys submitted complaints in opposition to Oh Dong-woon, head of the CIO, and others to the Seoul Central District Prosecutors Workplace, claiming the CIO illegally executed warrants to detain Yoon and search his residence.

The authorized staff argued the CIO had no authority to mobilize police officers for the try.

The staff additionally filed complaints in opposition to appearing Nationwide Police Company Commissioner-Basic Lee Ho-young and appearing Protection Minister Kim Seon-ho, accusing them of dereliction of responsibility and abuse of energy for refusing the presidential safety service’s request for extra safety personnel.

On Sunday, Yoon’s attorneys mentioned they might file complaints in opposition to all police and protection ministry personnel concerned within the execution of the warrants. They plan to file extra complaints as soon as they affirm the small print of these concerned. (Yonhap)
