According to Yonhap News Agency, South Korea's Constitutional Court handed down a ruling on the afternoon of the 18th. All judges unanimously passed the impeachment case against Police Chief Cho Ji-ho, and Cho Ji-ho was immediately removed from office. Previously, Cho Chi-ho had been suspended for 371 days. According to the report, the Constitutional Court said that Cho Chi-ho's act of restricting members of the National Assembly from entering the National Assembly during the “12.3 Emergency Situation” was to carry out instructions from former President Yoon Suk-yue that were unconstitutional and illegal, and infringed on the powers granted by the Constitution, such as the right to deliberate and vote of members of the National Assembly. Regarding the deployment of police forces to the Gwacheon office building of the Central Election Administration Commission and the Election Training Institute, the Constitutional Court also pointed out that in the context of unconstitutional and illegal emergency martial law, Cho Chi-ho assisted the military in intervening in the affairs of the Central Election Administration Commission, preventing the Central Election Administration Commission from carrying out its duties and exercising its powers, and infringed on its independence. The Constitutional Court emphasized that Cho Chi-ho's negative impact on the constitutional order was serious, and he should be removed. In the early morning of December 11, 2024, a special investigation team from the National Investigation Headquarters under the Korean National Police Agency made an emergency arrest of Cho Ji-ho. On December 12, 2024, the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea voted to pass a motion to impeach Chief of Police Cho Ji-ho, and Cho Ji-ho was immediately suspended.
