SEOUL - A South Korean court has re-issued a warrant to arrest impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol, the country’s corruption investigation agency said on Jan 7.
Investigators seeking to question him on allegations of insurrection have struggled to execute a warrant for his arrest.
The head of the investigation unit, blocked by a human chain of hundreds of presidential security service and military guards outside his residence last week, said earlier on Jan 7 that they remained determined to bring him in.
Mr Yoon’s lawyers filed an injunction request to a Seoul court to nullify the arrest warrant, but the court struck that down on Jan 5, a court official said on Jan 7. REUTERS
