South Korean authorities are intensifying their efforts to detain President Yoon Suk Yeol for questioning regarding his declaration of martial law last month. The Corruption Investigation Office (CIO), in collaboration with the police and defense ministry, made a second attempt to apprehend the embattled leader at his official residence. Vehicles from the CIO were spotted arriving at the property early Wednesday, with police officers forming part of the arrest team.
President Yoon has been evading arrest by staying within his fortified residence, guarded by his Presidential Security Service team. He is facing multiple investigations and an impeachment trial following his brief imposition of martial law. Yoon is being sought for questioning on various charges, including allegations of leading an insurrection, a crime that carries severe penalties such as life imprisonment or the death penalty.
