The investigation team entered the residence of the South Korean president to arrest him.
According to foreign media, relevant authorities arrived at the residence of South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol to arrest him, but the security forces present there prevented them from entering. If the arrest warrant is executed, Yoon Suk-yeol will be the first president in South Korean history to be arrested.
President Yoon Suk-yeol could be imprisoned or sentenced to death for imposing martial law on December 3. The Corruption Investigation Office (CIO), which is investigating, has said that a warrant has been issued for the arrest of President Yoon Suk-yeol. According to reports, CIO investigator and top prosecutor Lee Dae-hwan was seen passing through a tight security fence to enter the president’s residence.
According to local media, the military personnel present there prevented the investigation team from entering the residence. The military unit later allowed them to proceed, but there were security service personnel inside the house, who are ensuring Yoon Suk-yeol’s security as president. The president’s lawyer says that executing warrants that are illegal and illegitimate is also illegal.
Several police buses and hundreds of police officers are outside the presidential residence in an attempt to arrest the president. Yoon Suk-yeol has been barricading himself inside his house since a court order to detain him this week. An impeachment motion against President Yoon Suk-yeol, presented in parliament on December 14, nearly two weeks after martial law was imposed, was successful.
