“In order for the president to stand for the trial, the concern of individual security and security need to be solved.”
The Constitutional Court hearing is set up for Tuesday.
The anti-graft workplace prepares a 2nd effort to apprehend Yoon in a criminal probe over his unsuccessful effort to enforce martial law in early December. An arrest effort on Jan. 3 stopped working after a six-hour standoff with security workers at Yoon's prepared substance in main Seoul.
Yoon's attorney did not react to Reuters calls looking for remark.
The CIO stated in a text that Yoon's lawyers sent notification of consultation of legal representatives on Sunday afternoon, without elaborating.
