South Korean court re-issues arrest warrant for impeached President
The Straits Times
|January 08, 2025
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.
-
A joint probe team led by the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO) requested an extension of the initial warrant after it expired on Jan 6, according to a text message from the team on Jan 7.
Investigators seeking to question him on allegations of insurrection have struggled to execute a warrant for his arrest, after facing resistance from the President's security team.
The CIO is seeking to take Mr. Yoon into custody and question him for his botched martial law decree, which led to his impeachment.
Mr. Yoon has repeatedly ignored the CIO's order to appear before the agency and remained holed up in his residence surrounded by hundreds of guards preventing his arrest.
The head of the investigation unit, blocked by a human chain of hundreds of presidential security service and military guards outside Mr. Yoon's residence last week, said earlier on Jan 7 that they remained determined to bring him in.

Trump in the spotlight, Asean in the shadows
Mr Trump and Asean operate differently. Ms Susannah Patton, deputy research director at Australian think-tank Lowy Institute, said in a commentary that he is “a leader who emphasises his own unique deal-making genius to reshape international affairs”, while Asean “prioritises consensus and incremental cooperation”. One thrives on command, the other on compromise.
