Anti-Yoon protesters clash with police officers as they march towards impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol's official residence, after investigators were unable to execute an arrest warrant on Friday for Yoon according to the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials, in Seoul, South Korea, January 3, 2025.

South Korea's Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials said on Friday the execution of an arrest warrant against impeached President Yoon Suk-yeol was impossible because the presidential security service refused to cooperate.

Considering the current circumstances, the CIO was calling on acting President Choi Sang-mok to order the presidential security service to cooperate with the execution of the arrest warrant, the agency said.
