LAW enforcement authorities requested a court warrant today to formally arrest South Korea’s impeached president Yoon Suk Yeol.
Mr Yoon was apprehended on Wednesday in a massive law enforcement operation at his residence after his lawyers failed in a last-minute effort to secure his release.
He faces potential rebellion charges linked to his declaration of martial law on December 3, which set off the country’s most serious political crisis in decades.
