South Korean police have raided the presidential office as part of an investigation into Yoon Suk-yeol’s martial law declaration, while officials told parliament the country’s former defence chief attempted suicide in custody.
The dramatic developments on Wednesday came after authorities earlier arrested former Defence Minister Kim Yong-hyun and the heads of the national and Seoul metropolitan police agencies over their alleged involvement in President Yoon’s short-lived decree, which has plunged Asia’s fourth-largest economy into its biggest political crisis in decades.
