South Korean police launch investigation into Yoon's treason charge


SEOUL: South Korea's police on Thursday launched an investigation into a case of President Yoon Suk-yeol's treason charge, according to multiple media outlets, reported Xinhua.

The minor left-leaning Rebuilding Korea Party and a group of activists filed complaints against Yoon for the rebellion and other charges Wednesday (Dec 4).

The National Office of Investigation (NOI) was quoted as saying that the two complaints were merged and assigned to the national security investigation team.
