SKorean prosecutors seek arrest warrants for 2 top security officials – Reports

Seoul, Mar 18 (UNI) South Korean prosecutors requested arrest warrants for two senior officials of the Presidential Security Service (PSS) on suspicion that they obstructed the arrest of impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol, South Korean media reported on Tuesday.
The Seoul western district prosecutors office filed the request with the Seoul district court to detain acting PSS chief Kim Seong-hoon and Lee Kwang-woo, chief of the PSS's bodyguard division, Yonhap news agency reported, citing unnamed officials. The two are accused of blocking the execution of an arrest warrant for Yoon in January.
The move follows a police request for arrest warrants, which prosecutors had previously rejected three times. The case stressed allegations of interference in the investigation into Yoon’s actions during the political crisis.
On December 3, Yoon declared martial law, claiming that the opposition was sympathizing with North Korea and plotting a "rebellion." The parliament voted to lift his declaration just hours later, which Yoon complied with, subsequently apologizing to the nation. On December 14, the South Korean parliament impeached Yoon over his controversial martial law declaration.
