SEOUL, Aug. 14 (Yonhap) -- A special counsel team said Friday it has indicted four lawmakers of the main opposition People Power Party (PPP) for allegedly obstructing investigators from detaining former President Yoon Suk Yeol in the wake of his failed 2024 martial law bid.

Reps. Na Kyung-won, Kim Gi-hyeon, Kwon Young-jin and Yoon Sang-hyun face charges of special obstruction of official duties for allegedly forming a human wall with Yoon's supporters outside the presidential residence on Jan. 15, 2025, when investigators made their second attempt to detain Yoon over his martial law bid.

The special counsel team accused the lawmakers of going beyond merely expressing opposition, arguing that they had obstructed investigators from executing Yoon's detention warrant.
