About 200 police officers and 40 investigators from the Corruption Investigation Department (CIO) took part in the operation to arrest Yun, Kommersant notes . They allegedly once again clashed with the ousted president's security forces at the entrance to his residence. The security forces, as the publication writes, had to overcome three rows of barriers of cars and buses. They were able to get into the building only after two and a half hours and with the help of stairs.
In early December, Yun Sok-yeol announced the introduction of martial law in the country, explaining the need for such a step to fight “pro-North Korean elements.” However, the next day, parliament, despite attempts by the military to interfere, reversed this decision and then impeached the president, accusing him of attempting to seize power. Yoon has been suspended from his duties since December 14. However, he still officially remains the president of the country, so the impeachment must be approved by the Constitutional Court.
