South Korean Investigators seek extension of warrant to arrest impeached Yoon
South Korean investigators have requested an extension of a warrant to arrest impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol, hours before the current order expires.
Anticorruption investigators probing Yoon over his December 3 martial law proclamation failed to serve an arrest warrant last Friday, after they were blocked by presidential security service guards who formed a human chain to prevent access to Yoon.
Investigating authorities said in a statement today they have requested an extension at the Seoul Western District Court, but declined to say how long the extension would last if granted.
Authorities also said it requested that police take over efforts to detain Yoon after its investigators failed to bring him into custody.
