Police in South Korea have raided the presidential office in Seoul, following President Yoon Suk Yeol’s abortive attempt to impose martial law last week, the BBC reports.
The raids are the latest development in what has been a tumultuous week in South Korean politics.
President Yoon, who has stayed in office despite an impeachment vote and multiple calls for him to step down, is facing multiple investigations from various branches of government, on charges of insurrection and treason.
Meanwhile, the country’s ex-defence minister Kim Yong-hyun who took responsibility for the martial law declaration, attempted suicide while in detention on Tuesday night, an official said.
