Took Them Long Enough

Korea's impeached and suspended President Yoon Suk Yeol, has finally been arrested.

There had been previous attempts, but the Presidential bodyguard refused to allow investigators in to serve the arrest warrant.

Maybe some arrest warrants for the Presidential bodyguard are warranted as well:

Yoon Suk Yeol became South Korea’s first sitting president to be detained, surrendering himself for questioning Wednesday after a weeks-long standoff that resulted in a dramatic predawn raid on the official presidential residence.

Police used ladders to climb over barricades made of buses to get into the residence and enable prosecutors to speak directly to Yoon, who was impeached last month after making a brief but botched attempt to impose martial law and exert political control.

Prosecutors had a warrant for Yoon’s arrest, which a Seoul court issued after the president ignored three summonses to appear for questioning over whether his actions amounted to insurrection. Yoon’s presidential security detail offered little resistance on Wednesday, in sharp contrast to an earlier attempt to detain him.

………

Local television stations showed a convoy of black SUVs leaving the presidential residence, transporting Yoon to the headquarters of the Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials (CIO), which is leading the probe into Yoon’s Dec. 3 attempt to impose martial law.

The CIO said its prosecutors have started working through their 200 pages of questions for the impeached president. But Yoon, who is accompanied by a lawyer, has so far refused to provide any answers, a CIO representative said on condition of anonymity at a press briefing Wednesday afternoon.

Yoon is set to be held in a detention center near the CIO headquarters while the questioning continues. Prosecutors have 48 hours to formally arrest or release the president.

Yoon is a nut-case, claiming, among other things, that the US Supreme Court's ruling on Donald Trump's immunity gave him immunity ……… In Korea. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's crazy, but at least there appears to be the rule of law in the Republic of Korea, unlike, you know, the United States,
