Excerpt:
It’s the latest confrontation in a political crisis that has paralysed South Korean politics and seen two heads of state impeached in under a month.
South Korean authorities have suspended an attempt to arrest the impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol and left his residence in Seoul after an almost six-hour standoff with security forces.
The country’s anti-corruption agency said it withdrew its investigators after the presidential security service blocked them from entering Yoon’s residence due to concerns about their safety.
The agency expressed “serious regret about the attitude of the suspect, who did not respond to a process by law.”
