South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has so far refused to cooperate with investigators after he was arrested for questioning on Wednesday, the country’s anti-corruption agency said. His arrest - the first time such an action has been taken against a sitting president - was the latest chapter in a weekslong political saga that began with the embattled president’s shock martial law decree last month.

Impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol was arrested and questioned for hours by investigators in relation to a criminal insurrection probe, ending a weeks-long standoff with authorities.
