A South Korean court has reissued an arrest warrant for ousted President Yoon Suk Yeol, the country’s corruption investigation agency said Tuesday.
Investigators seeking to question him over allegations of insurrection had difficulty executing a warrant for his arrest.
The head of the investigative unit, blocked by a human chain of hundreds of presidential security personnel and military guards outside his residence last week, said Tuesday they remained determined to arrest him.
Yoon’s lawyers filed a request for an injunction with a Seoul court to quash the arrest warrant, but the court canceled it on Sunday, a court official said Tuesday.
