South Korean investigators arrived at the residence of President Yoon Suk Yeol on Wednesday morning in their second attempt to arrest the impeached leader over his short-lived martial law declaration.
Members of the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials arrived at Yoon¡¯s residence in the district of Yongsan in central Seoul at 4:20 a.m., local time, South Korea¡¯s Yonhap News reported. The CIO did not immediately respond to a request seeking comment.
Investigators have been seeking Yoon¡¯s custody after the president repeatedly defied summons in an insurrection probe over his failed martial law. They abandoned their first attempt on Jan. 3 after a nearly six-hour standoff due to resistance from Yoon¡¯s security team.
