“TOP PRIORITY”
A spokeswoman for the court said on Monday judges had pencilled in a preliminary hearing on Dec 27, which Yoon is not required to attend.
“During the preparatory hearing, investigation records from the prosecution, police, and other relevant authorities will be promptly secured,” spokeswoman Lee Jean told journalists.
“This case will be given top priority,” she said.
Vast protests against Yoon, with smaller rallies supporting him, have rocked the South Korean capital since his short-lived Dec 3 martial law decree.
Demonstrators in both camps have vowed to keep up the pressure as the Constitutional Court considers Yoon’s fate.
Police arrested both the current and former heads of the Defence Intelligence Command on Sunday in connection to the insurrection allegations, Yonhap reported.
Prosecutors also arrested the head of the Army Special Warfare Command Kwak Jong-keun, Yonhap said.
Kwak is accused of sending special forces troops to parliament during the martial law bid, sparking a dramatic confrontation between soldiers and parliamentary staff.
