🚨 South Korea’s political scene is heating up as police take charge of executing an arrest warrant for impeached President Yoon Suk-yeol. The Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials (CIO) handed over the case to law enforcement after a tense standoff with Yoon’s security team last week. Will the deadline pressure spark a breakthrough?
📅 With the detention warrant set to expire at midnight Monday, authorities are racing against the clock. Police confirmed they’re reviewing the request, while the CIO may seek a new court order to extend the deadline. This marks an unprecedented moment in South Korean history: Yoon is the first sitting president to face arrest, accused of attempting to declare martial law on December 3.
🛂 The drama deepened when Yoon’s security chief, Park Chong-jun, refused to cooperate, calling the arrest warrant legally contentious. Park defended his team’s role, stating they’ve protected presidents for six decades, regardless of political divides. Critics, however, argue the security service risks becoming a 'private army' loyal to Yoon.
💼 Analysts say the standoff highlights South Korea’s struggle to balance executive power and accountability. As the clock ticks, the world watches: Will Yoon’s presidential immunity crumble? Stay tuned for updates on this historic political showdown. 🌍⚖️
