South Korean police raided President Yoon Suk-yeol's office on Wednesday, Yonhap reported, as the investigation into his short-lived attempt to impose martial law intensified.
The offices of the Seoul Metropolitan Police and the National Assembly Police Guards were also searched, the news agency said, as authorities try to establish whether Yoon and others who were involved in imposing martial law committed insurrection. Yoon was reportedly not in the building when investigators arrived.
Earlier on Wednesday, police detained National Police Agency Commissioner-General Cho Ji-ho and Kim Bong-sik, the head of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency on insurrection charges. Both of them are suspected of ordering police to block lawmakers from entering the National Assembly and voting to lift Yoon's martial law order.
