Law enforcement authorities on Friday were seeking to formally arrest impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, who was spending his third day at a detention center after his lawyers failed in a last-minute attempt to secure his release.

Yoon’s detention comes after a stand-off between South Korean investigators and his presidential bodyguards, who blocked earlier efforts to detain him.

A South Korean court will weigh Saturday (Jan 18) whether to extend the detention of impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol, after investigators arrested him over a failed martial law bid.
