SEOUL: Prosecutors said Friday that Yoon Suk Yeol, the impeached former president of South Korea, resisted attempts to question him by lying in his underpants on the floor of his prison cell.
In order to forcefully bring the former leader in for interrogation on charges of election meddling, prosecutors secured a new arrest warrant on Thursday.
However, prosecutor Oh Jeong-hee informed reporters that they were “unable to do so due to his strong refusal”
“The suspect refused arrest while lying on the floor without wearing his prison-issued clothing,” she stated.
“Due to concerns over safety incidents, physical force was withheld, and the execution of the warrant was temporarily suspended.”
