SEOUL, December 3 (AJP) - A court denied an arrest warrant for Choo Kyung-ho, the former floor leader of the main opposition People Power Party (PPP) early Wednesday morning.
The Seoul Central District Court rejected the warrant sought by prosecutors over his alleged involvement in disgraced former President Yoon Suk Yeol's martial law debacle in December last year, citing considerable legal disputes surrounding the charges.
Choo has been accused of interfering with parliamentary efforts to lift the martial law declared by Yoon on Dec. 3 by repeatedly changing locations to prevent lawmakers from voting for it.
The court said Choo has been cooperating with the investigation into the debacle and that there is no risk of flight or evidence tampering.
