Published : 03/02/2025 11:29 AM

SEOUL, Feb 3 (Bernama-Yonhap) -- Police said Monday they were trying to raid the Presidential Security Service (PSS) in connection with its alleged attempt to block investigators from executing a warrant to detain President Yoon Suk Yeol last month, Yonhap News Agency reported.

The raid targets acting PSS chief Kim Seong-hoon and Lee Kwang-woo, head of the PSS bodyguard division, who are suspected of obstructing official duties and abusing their power to stop investigators during their first attempt to detain Yoon over his short-lived imposition of martial law.

Police said investigators have been sent to the PSS office on the presidential office compound in Yongsan, central Seoul, and are currently waiting to be given access for the search and seizure.
