South Korean authorities have granted a request to extend a warrant to detain the country’s suspended President Yoon Suk Yeol for questioning over his surprise declaration of martial law 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 last week.

The court in Seoul has issued another arrest warrant for the President of South Korea, Yoon Suk Yeol, who is accused of staging a coup. Previous attempts to detain him were unsuccessful. The office investigating corruption among high-ranking officials (CIO) announced that a renewed arrest warrant for the suspect was issued earlier this afternoon
