A police unit in charge of investigating President Yoon Suk Yeol’s declaration of emergency martial law last week attempted to raid the presidential office in Yongsan District, central Seoul, on Wednesday morning, according to officials.
Investigators from the unit also raided the National Police Agency, Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency and the National Assembly Police Security Guard.
The raids were announced via a press release issued by the unit, which was formed under the National Office of Investigation, a branch of the National Police Agency.
President Yoon Suk Yeol was not in his office at the time of the raids, according to sources.
