JAKARTA - South Korean police have banned former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo and former Finance Minister Choi Sang-mok from traveling abroad as part of an investigation into alleged insurgency linked to military emergency efforts of former leader Yoon Suk Yeol.
The travel ban was imposed in mid-May, Yonhap news agency reported. Han and Choi were questioned on Monday by a special police unit investigating former top government officials on charges of insurgency.
Reported by Reuters on Tuesday, May 27, after Yoon was impeached for violating his post in December, raises questions about what role Han and Choi played in the military emergency imposed by the former leader and whether they oppose the action as they claim.
The declaration of martial law on December 3, 2024, which was repealed hours later by parliament, prompted South Korea into an unprecedented constitutional crisis involving Han and Choi who served as acting president.
South Koreans voted in an impromptu general election on June 3 to elect a new leader.
