Officials move to detain impeached president after previous failure to execute warrant

South Korean investigators seeking to arrest the impeached president, Yoon Suk Yeol, have clashed with his supporters as they launched a fresh attempt to execute an arrest warrant over insurrection accusations related to his 3 December declaration of martial law.

Early on Wednesday, vehicles from the Corruption Investigation Office (CIO) arrived in front of Yoon’s hill-side villa in Seoul, where he has been holed up for weeks.
