South Korean police raided the presidential office and the Presidential Security Service (PSS) on Wednesday as part of a probe into allegations that former President Yoon Suk Yeol and acting PSS chief Kim Seong-hoon obstructed the execution of a detention warrant for Yoon earlier this year, local media reported Wednesday.
The police's special investigation team, focused on Yoon's December 3 martial law declaration, searched the presidential office's secure phone server and the PSS office and residence, said Yonhap News Agency.
Earlier this month, South Korea’s Constitutional Court removed Yoon from office over his bid to impose martial law.
The country will elect a new president in snap polls on June 3.
South Korea's Constitutional Court unanimously ruled on Friday to remove Yoon over the December 3 attempt to subvert civilian rule, triggering fresh elections to be held by June after months of political turmoil.
