Yoon Suk Yeol, South Korea's first sitting president to be arrested, faces potential further detention as investigators seek to extend his custody amid legal challenges.
Despite the imminent deadline for questioning and possible detention extension, Yoon's lawyer claimed his client would not attend further inquiries, asserting that Yoon had provided his position during his initial arrest.
The Seoul Central district court upheld the legality of Yoon's arrest, allowing for a potential extension of 20 days following the request from investigators.
Legal experts anticipate that authorities will seek a detention warrant for Yoon, faced with a ticking clock as they navigate the complexities of this unprecedented legal scenario.
