South Korean police have initiated a raid on the presidential office and the safe house in Samcheong-dong to secure documents related to President Yoon Suk Yeol's declaration of martial law in December. The police are also attempting to obtain CCTV footage from the Samcheong-dong safe house and documents related to the 12·3 martial law from the presidential office. This action follows the formal arrest of President Yoon, who was moved to a solitary cell at the Seoul Detention Center. The raid is part of an ongoing investigation into the illegal declaration of martial law on December 3, with the police seeking to gather evidence on who entered and exited the safe house before and after the martial law declaration, as well as any directives issued by President Yoon.
