Overview

• The Seoul Central District Court holds a 1:30 p.m. hearing Wednesday on whether to issue the warrant, with a decision possible later the same day.
• Special counsel Cho Eun-suk’s team requested Han’s arrest on charges that include abetting the ringleader of an insurrection, falsifying and destroying official documents, and perjury.
• Investigators allege Han advanced the decree by proposing a Cabinet meeting before the martial law declaration.
• He is also suspected of drafting and later destroying a revised proclamation intended to bolster the decree’s legitimacy.
• If approved, the warrant would make Han the third former Yoon administration Cabinet member arrested in the case, after Kim Yong-hyun and Lee Sang-min.
