South Korea’s anti-corruption agency and police have debated more forceful measures to detain impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol after their previous attempt was blocked by the presidential security service last week.

The discussions highlighted the obstacles facing the criminal investigation into Mr Yoon’s martial law decree on December 3, which led to his impeachment on December 14.
