South Korea's anti-corruption agency has obtained a new court warrant to detain impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol after a previous attempt was thwarted by the presidential security service. The Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials did not disclose the duration of the warrant, citing sensitivity as they plan its execution. Typically, warrants last seven to 10 days.
Last week, the Seoul Western District Court issued a warrant to detain Yoon and search his residence following his refusal to appear for questioning regarding a martial law decree issued on December 3. Despite a standoff with the presidential security service, a previous attempt to detain Yoon was unsuccessful.
