South Korean prosecutors on Tuesday raided the private residence of ousted President Yoon Suk Yeol.
DAILY POST reports that over his attempt to declare martial law late last year.
According to Yonhap News Agency, prosecutors investigating an influence-peddling case involving religious figures were looking for documents and materials that could indicate their association with the former president and his wife.
Yonhap said it was not clear if investigators had entered the premises.
At the time of filing this report, a spokesperson for the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors’ Office, which is handling the case, had not made any comment on the development.
Yoon, following his December 14 impeachment by parliament, had resisted attempts by investigators to search the official presidential residence, citing reasons of security and protection of classified materials.
DAILY POST recalls that on April 11.
