Seoul: A special counsel team on Sunday filed for a court warrant to arrest former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo over his alleged involvement in former President Yoon Suk Yeol's botched attempt to impose martial law. Special Counsel Cho Eun-suk's team filed the request for the writ on charges of aiding Yoon's efforts to impose the martial law decree on Dec. 3 last year.

According to Yonhap News Agency, the investigation into Han Duck-soo is part of a broader probe into the failed martial law declaration, which has been a significant focus for the special counsel team. The team aims to understand the extent of Han's involvement and whether he played a critical role in supporting the decree. The request for an arrest warrant marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing investigation, potentially leading to further legal proceedings against other officials involved.
