Seoul: A special counsel team on Wednesday sought a warrant to formally arrest former Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn on charges of inciting an insurrection following former President Yoon Suk Yeol's failed martial law bid. Hwang, who served under former President Park Geun-hye, made Facebook posts following Yoon's brief imposition of martial law on December 3, calling for the rooting out of pro-North Korea forces and those involved in alleged electoral fraud. He also called for the arrest of National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-shik and then People Power Party leader Han Dong-hoon. According to Yonhap News Agency, the decision comes after investigators from special counsel Cho Eun-suk's team executed a detention warrant for Hwang at his home in Seoul's Yongsan Ward earlier in the day after he ignored three summonses to appear for questioning. Hwang appeared before the special counsel team at around 10:40 a.m. and was questioned until 5 p.m., before being sent to the Seoul Detention Center in Uiwang, south of Seou l. Officials stated that the Seoul Central District Court will hold a hearing on Thursday to decide whether to issue a formal arrest warrant. Cho's team is tasked with investigating allegations related to Yoon's martial law attempt, including charges of suggesting the declaration of martial law, preparing detention facilities, plotting or killing with the purpose of staging an insurrection, and inciting an insurrection. The team launched an investigation into Hwang following a related complaint by an online news outlet and attempted several times to execute a warrant to search his home. Each attempt failed as Hwang kept his door shut. With his detention, the team also succeeded in conducting the search and seizure.
