South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has been arrested for questioning, according to the country’s anti corruption agency, in the latest chapter of a weekslong political saga that began with the embattled president’s shock martial law decree last month.

South Korea’s anti-corruption agency says it has received a new court warrant to detain impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol after its previous attempt was blocked by the presidential security service la

The Corruption Investigation Office was investigating whether the martial law declaration was an act of rebellion. Mr Yoon says his declaration of martial law was a legitimate act of governance.
