Special Counsel Seeks Detention Warrant for Ex-President Yoon Over Election Meddling Allegations

Seoul: A special counsel team announced on Wednesday that it has filed for a warrant to forcibly detain former President Yoon Suk Yeol. This action aims to ensure his presence for questioning regarding allegations of election meddling.

According to Yonhap News Agency, the special counsel's decision to seek a detention warrant came shortly after Yoon once again refused to comply with special counsel Min Joong-ki's summons. Yoon cited his declining health as the reason for his non-compliance. The allegations have been a point of contention, and Yoon's continued absence has prompted the special counsel team to take this decisive step.
