South Korean investigators sought a new warrant to extend the detention of impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol over his ill-fated martial law declaration, following his arrest earlier this week.
The Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials asked the Seoul Western District Court on Friday for the warrant that would allow investigators to detain Yoon for up to 20 days after the expiration of the initial 48-hour detention period.
