"Prosecutors opened a special investigation earlier this year to examine whether Yoon ordered drone flights over North Korea to provoke Pyongyang and strengthen his effort to declare martial law. list of 4 itemsend of list Prosecutor Park Ji-young told reporters on Monday that the special counsel team had charged Yoon with benefitting the enemy in general as well as abuse of power."
"Park added that compelling evidence had been found in a memo written by Yoon's former counter-intelligence commander in October last year, which pushed to create an unstable situation or seize an arising opportunity. The memo said the military should target places that must make them [North Korea] lose face so that a response is inevitable, such as Pyongyang or the major coastal city of Wonsan, Park said."
Former President Yoon Suk Yeol faces new indictments including aiding an enemy and abuse of power connected to his brief imposition of martial law. Prosecutors allege Yoon ordered drone flights over North Korea to provoke Pyongyang and manufacture conditions that would justify emergency martial law, increasing the risk of inter-Korean armed confrontation and harming public military interests. Investigators cite a memo from Yoon's former counter-intelligence commander urging actions to make North Korea lose face by targeting Pyongyang or Wonsan to provoke a response. Yoon was removed by the Constitutional Court, faces trial for insurrection, and denies intent to impose military rule.
