South Korean President Yoon Suk-Yeol Arrested

News summary

South Korean authorities have arrested impeached President Yoon Suk-Yeol, marking a historic first for the nation where a sitting president has been detained. The arrest, executed on January 15, was connected to allegations of insurrection following Yoon's brief declaration of martial law, which was swiftly overturned by the National Assembly. Despite his claims that the investigation is illegal, Yoon stated he complied to prevent bloodshed. After a confrontation with Yoon's security team, investigators accessed his residence to execute the warrant, utilizing ladders to overcome barricades. He will undergo questioning at the Office of Anti-Corruption Investigations, where authorities have prepared extensive inquiries regarding his actions during the martial law period. A decision will be made within 48 hours regarding further detention or release.
