Court Rejects Arrest Warrant for Former President Yoon Seok-yeol

On June 25, 2025, the court dismissed the arrest warrant requested by the special investigation team led by Special Prosecutor Jo Eun-seok against former President Yoon Seok-yeol. The court stated that the warrant was denied because Yoon had expressed his willingness to comply with the special prosecutor's summons. The special prosecutor's office announced that they had formally requested Yoon and his legal representatives to appear in court on June 28 at 9 AM. During a briefing, a representative from the special prosecutor's office indicated that if Yoon fails to respond to this summons, they would consider filing for an arrest warrant again. Previously, on June 24, the special prosecutor's office had sought the warrant based on allegations that Yoon had instructed the Presidential Security Service to obstruct the execution of the arrest warrant and to delete the server of the secret communication system shortly after the declaration of martial law. The special prosecutor's office noted that Yoon had failed to respond to police summons on two occasions and had clearly indicated his unwillingness to appear for questioning after the investigation began on June 18. They emphasized that the continuity of the case warranted the request for an arrest warrant.
