Police in South Korea have raided a secure presidential building where President Yoon Suk Yeol is believed to have held a secret meeting with top police and military officials to discuss a plan to impose martial law in the country.
The raid, reported by Yonhap news agency, was aimed at securing security camera footage and identifying people who had entered the building hours before the official declaration of martial law on December 3.
According to sources close to the investigation, police have been trying to determine whether there was any irregular meeting or unusual coordination that could violate the law or fuel a constitutional debate over the government's actions.
The imposition of martial law has sparked major controversy in South Korea, with critics calling it a possible attempt to curtail civil liberties and strengthen government control during a period of political and social unrest.
Presidency officials have not yet commented on the raid, while it remains unclear whether the material collected will include key information to shed light on the events that led to the declaration of martial law.
Meanwhile, critics of the government have called for transparency and a full investigation into the president's decision and the circumstances that led to this drastic step. (A2 Televizion)
