South Korean Investigators Reportedly Decide to Stop Trying to Execute Arrest Warrant for President
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - South Korean investigators have decided to stop executing the arrest warrant for temporarily suspended South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol due to the impossibility of executing it after more than five hours of standoff with the presidential guard, the Yonhap news agency reported on Friday.
Earlier on Friday, Yonhap reported that the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials sent its officers to the
presidential residence to execute an arrest warrant. However, South Korean soldiers, assigned to the Capital Defense Command, and the presidential security service did not allow investigators and police officers to enter the residence and search it.
A decision on further actions regarding the arrest of Yoon will be made after reviewing today's events, the report said.
Police have not yet arrested anyone for preventing law enforcement officers from performing their duties, the report noted.
The arrest warrant for Yoon remains in force until January 6.
One month ago, Yoon
imposed martial law, alleging that the opposition was aligning with North Korea and planning a "rebellion." However, the parliament opposed this move and voted to revoke martial law. The office of Woo Won-shik, the parliamentary speaker, stated that the martial law declaration was void after the vote.
Following this, Yoon rescinded the martial law and apologized to the public. He was subsequently prohibited from leaving the country due to an investigation into the failed martial law attempt, while former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun was arrested for a potential treason investigation.
