South Korean investigators on Friday halted their attempt to arrest impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol over his failed martial law bid.
The Corruption Investigation Office made this known in a statement on Friday, saying that the investigators called off the attempt due to a standoff at his residence.
“Regarding the execution of the arrest warrant today, it was determined that the execution was effectively impossible due to the ongoing standoff. Concern for the safety of personnel on-site led to the decision to halt the execution,” the statement said.
News360 Info recalls that operatives investigating South Korea’s suspended President, Yoon Suk Yeol, over his short-lived declaration of martial law, sought an arrest warrant for the ousted president after he failed to report for questioning.
