South Korean authorities have arrested President Yoon Suk Yeol, who faces charges of insurrection following an unsuccessful attempt to impose martial law.
Yoon is now at the Corruption Investigation Office. He said he agreed to the interrogation "even though it is an illegal investigation, in order to prevent any unsavoury bloodshed".
Authorities served the warrant after an hours-long standoff with his security staff and supporters, which saw investigators using ladders and wirecutters to enter Yoon’s residence.
This marks the first time in South Korea’s history that a sitting president has been arrested.
Yoon had been holed up for weeks – investigators tried to arrest him earlier this month but failed.
