Seoul (South Korea), Jan 3 (LaPresse/AP) – South Korean investigators have left the official residence of impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol after a nearly six-hour standoff during which he defied their attempt to arrest him. It is the latest clash in a political crisis that has paralysed South Korean politics and seen two heads of state impeached in less than a month. The country's anti-corruption agency said it withdrew its investigators after the presidential security service prevented them from entering Yoon's residence for hours due to concerns over their safety. The agency expressed ‘serious regret at the attitude of the suspect, who did not respond to due process of law’.
