South Korean investigators have arrested South Korea’s impeached President Yoon Suk-yeol over accusations of insurrection for briefly imposing martial law in a move swiftly overturned by the country’s National Assembly.
“The Joint Investigation Headquarters executed an arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk-yeol today [January 15] at 10:33 am [01:30 GMT],” the authorities said in a statement on Wednesday.
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has said that he decided to show up for questioning to the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO) in order to prevent the bloodshed but considers the investigation illegal.
"To prevent an unfortunate and violent incident, I decided to appear before the CIO even though I believe the investigation is illegal," Yonhap quoted him as saying.
