South Korean police officers brave freezing temperatures and cut through barbed wire to reach Yoon. Luckily there was no shoot-out between the CIO and the bodyguards. (Photo: Reuters)
Investigators used ladders and wire-cutters in the freezing cold to get to Yoon, whose Presidential Security Service (PSS) personnel had erected barricades in a bid to thwart his arrest.
The Corruption Investigation Office (CIO) had previously attempted to arrest him on 3 Jan 2025 but they were blocked by buses and barbed wire.
