Investigators from South Korea's Corruption Investigation Office (CIO) have taken a significant step in the ongoing probe by arriving at the residence of the impeached president, Yoon Suk Yeol, to enforce an arrest warrant. The warrant was issued in connection to multiple investigations, including allegations of leading an insurrection through the declaration of martial law in early December.
The court's approval of the warrant marks a historic moment as it is the first time such action has been taken against a sitting president in South Korea. This development has escalated the confrontation between the investigators and the president, who was stripped of his powers last month following a parliamentary vote to impeach him.
