Seoul | A South Korean court on Tuesday issued an arrest warrant for embattled President Yoon Suk Yeol, who has been suspended from power over his short-lived martial law declaration, according to investigators.
If the warrant is executed, Mr Yoon would be the first president in South Korea’s history to be arrested while still in office. A joint investigation team made the request on Monday after Mr Yoon defied a third summons to appear for questioning.
