The chief of South Korea’s anti-corruption investigative agency on Tuesday apologised for the failure last week to arrest the impeached President Yoon Suk-yeol over his short-lived martial law imposition.

Oh Dong-woon, head of the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO), said in a parliamentary session of the legislation and judiciary committee that he sincerely apologized.

He apologized to people for the botched attempt to execute the arrest warrant against Yoon, which was blocked by the presidential security service.

Oh stressed that the bungled execution of the warrant, legitimately issued by the judiciary, undermined the rule of law, vowing to make best efforts to make thorough preparations and proceed with the warrant without setbacks.

The CIO formed a joint investigation unit with the National Office of Investigation (NOI) and the defense ministry’s investigative headquarters to investigate Yoon’s martial law imposition.

The unit requested the Seoul Western District Court to extend the arrest warrant against Yoon on Monday after failing to detain Yoon last Friday.

The CIO investigators and police officers attempted to arrest the impeached president in the presidential residence on Jan. 3.

They failed as the presidential security service blocked the execution of the arrest warrant which expired at midnight Monday.

The impeachment motion against Yoon was passed in the National Assembly on Dec. 14, 2024, and was delivered to the constitutional court to deliberate it for up to 180 days.

This took place during which Yoon’s presidential power was suspended.

Yoon, who was named by investigative agencies as a suspected ringleader on an insurrection charge, declared martial law on the night of Dec. 3.

But it was revoked by the National Assembly hours later. (Xinhua/NAN)
