The state anti-corruption agency suspended its attempt to detain impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol over his failed martial law bid Friday following an hourslong standoff between investigators and presidential security staff, SİA reports citing Yonhap.
The Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO) said it halted execution of the warrant at 1:30 p.m., about five hours after its investigators arrived at the presidential residence to detain Yoon.
"We determined that executing the detention warrant would be practically impossible due to the continued confrontation, and suspended the execution out of concern for the safety of on-site personnel caused by the resistance," the CIO said in a notice to the press. "We plan to decide on the next steps following a review.
"We express serious regret over the behavior of the suspect who refused to comply with legally set procedures," it added.
