South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has been arrested for questioning, according to the country’s anti corruption agency, in the latest chapter of a weekslong political saga that began with the embattled president’s shock martial law decree last month.

Recently suspended South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol was arrested early Wednesday by the country's Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials, ending a political standoff triggered by Yoon's short-lived decision to impose martial law last month.

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol was detained on Wednesday after a massive law enforcement operation at the presidential compound that ended a weeks-long stand-off between his bodyguards and the country's anti-corruption agency.
