Lawyers of impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol and the Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials (CIO) probing his short-lived martial law decree on Dec. 3 are at odds over whether the CIO has the authority to arrest and pursue criminal charges against him.

Yoon Suk Yeol’s bodyguards thwarted investigators in another tense showdown resulting from his short-lived martial law decree.

South Korean investigators trying to arrest suspended President Yoon Suk Yeol have less than 24 hours before their warrant expires Monday, with the embattled leader holed out in his residence surrounded by loyal security forces.
