- Story Text:Supporters of impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol waved South Korean and U.S. flags during a protest near the presidential residence on Monday (January 6) as the expiry of an arrest warrant loomed.
South Korean investigators will seek an extension of a warrant to arrest Yoon, an official said as an anti-graft agency asked police to take over efforts to execute the arrest of the embattled leader.
The requests come after a failed attempt to serve the warrant on Friday (January 3) following a tense stand-off with presidential security service guards who formed a human chain to block access to Yoon by the investigators.
Yoon is under criminal investigation for insurrection over his December 3 martial law bid that stunned South Korea and led to the first ever arrest warrant to be issued by the court for a sitting president.
