Seoul: A special counsel team on Monday raided the home of former Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn over suspicions of inciting an insurrection following former President Yoon Suk Yeol's attempt to impose martial law in December. The investigation seeks to uncover details surrounding these serious allegations.

According to Yonhap News Agency, the team led by special counsel Cho Eun-suk executed a search and seizure warrant at Hwang's residence. This action is part of a broader investigation into allegations linked to the martial law attempt. Legal sources have confirmed this development as the investigation continues to unfold.

The former prime minister, who held office during former President Park Geun-hye's administration, was reported to law enforcement authorities by a civic organization in March. The report accused Hwang of allegedly inciting violence among Yoon's supporters in anticipation of the Constitutional Court's ruling on Yoon's impeachment. This raid marks a significant escalation in the ongoing investigation.
