Officials move to detain impeached president after previous failure to execute warrant
South Korean investigators seeking to arrest the impeached president, Yoon Suk Yeol, have clashed with his supporters as they launched a fresh attempt to execute an arrest warrant over insurrection accusations related to his 3 December declaration of martial law.
Video footage showed investigating officers from the Corruption Investigation Office (CIO) trying to push through a crowd of Yoon’s supporters gathered outside his hillside villa in Seoul, where he has been holed up for weeks behind barbed wire and a small army of personal security.
