South Korea wants to arrest impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol during investigation into potential martial law violations.

Officials in South Korea have taken action in response to the recent martial law decree made by impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol. The law enforcement authorities have requested a court warrant to detain President Yoon as they continue to investigate whether his actions can be considered as rebellion.

The Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials, in collaboration with the police and military, is leading the investigation into the brief period of martial law declared by Yoon. On Monday, the office confirmed that they have submitted a request for a warrant to detain the former president. The charges against Yoon include abuse of authority and orchestrating a rebellion.

Despite multiple requests from the joint investigation team and public prosecutors, Yoon has evaded appearing for questioning and has also prevented searches of his offices. It remains uncertain whether the court will grant the warrant and if Yoon will be compelled to comply with the investigation.

According to the laws in South Korea, locations that may be linked to military secrets cannot be searched or seized without the consent of the individual in charge. It is highly unlikely that Yoon will voluntarily leave his residence if there is a possibility of being detained.
