South Korean President rejects court papers again

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has refused again to accept the documents about his impeachment trial sent by the constitutional court, ahead of his first preparatory hearing on Dec. 27.

The Constitutional Court attempted to deliver the papers three times by visiting him personally and three times by mail.

But the documents were refused at the Office of the President because the President wasn’t there and also turned down at his official residence by the Presidential Security Service.

The papers are processed as ‘delivered’ by leaving them at home or at the office or by sending them via registered mail.

When the court considers the papers as ‘delivered,’ President Yoon must submit an answer as well as cabinet meeting minutes within seven days.

If the president refuses to hand over the related records, he may have to stand trial without needed materials on December 27th, the first day of his hearing.
