Seoul, Sep 2
A South Korean's special counsel team on Tuesday raided the homes and offices of Rep. Choo Kyung-ho of the main opposition People Power Party (PPP) over his alleged involvement in former President Yoon Suk Yeol's botched martial law bid in December when he served as the party's floor leader.
Special counsel Cho Eun-suk's team carried out the search and seizure at Choo's homes and offices in Seoul and Daegu, where his constituency is located, over allegations that he obstructed his party's lawmakers from attending a parliamentary vote to lift the martial law decree.
The team is looking into allegations that Choo changed the venue for an emergency general meeting of the PPP's lawmakers multiple times on the night of Yoon's declaration on December 3 at the former president's request.
