“South Korean investigators on Saturday again asked the country’s acting president to clear the way for the arrest of impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol after a six-hour standoff earlier this week thwarted his detainment. The Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials asked acting President Choi Sang-mok, the nation’s finance minister, to order the presidential security service to comply with the warrant, which was issued over Yoon’s brief declaration of martial law last month. Police are also asking that Park Jong-joon, the chief of the presidential security service, appear for questioning on Tuesday. The request comes just one day after thousands of police officers and pro-Yoon protesters formed a perimeter around Yoon’s home to prevent authorities from executing the arrest warrant.” (01/04/25)
