    Accusations intensify against South Korea’s defense minister

    South Korea’s former Defense Minister Kim Yong-Hyon has been arrested on charges of helping President Yoon Suk-Yeol attempt a coup.

    Yoon Suk-Yeol last week declared a state of emergency with accompanying martial law and sent special forces and helicopters to parliament on December 3. However, he was forced to back down after just six hours when 190 members went to parliament and voted against.

    On Tuesday, a court in South Korea issued a formal arrest warrant for Kim. Later, a court confirmed that the former defense minister had been formally arrested. Kim was already detained on Sunday when investigators suspected that there was a risk that evidence would be destroyed.

    The formal accusation concerns, among other things, “abuse of authority”.
