South Korea anti-corruption agency to hand over execution of Yoon's arrest warrant to police

Seoul: South Korea's anti-corruption agency said on Monday that it had sent a notice to police that it would hand over the execution of an arrest warrant for impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol to them.

Earlier, thousands braved heavy snow in Seoul on Sunday to rally for and against arresting impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol, as South Korea's political crisis appeared headed toward another high-stakes confrontation.

With an arrest warrant against Yoon for alleged insurrection expiring at midnight (1500 GMT) on Monday, multiple groups held demonstrations near his official residence, some urging his immediate arrest and others protesting against it.
