South Korea’s anti-corruption agency has requested that police take over efforts to detain impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol after its investigators failed to bring him to custody following a standoff with the presidential security service last week.

Charges and counter-charges reverberate around South Korea’s impeached president, Yoon Suk-yeol. Add “resisting arrest” to the “insurrection” claimed by his foes. Then again, how about accusing the investigators of “trespassing” — and even staging an “insurrection” of their own — in Korea’s version of “Catch Me if You Can”?

On Friday morning, officials abandoned an attempt to detain South Korea’s embattled president, throwing the country deeper into chaos.
