A South Korean court on Tuesday approved an arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol, who was impeached and suspended from power over his decision to impose a state of emergency on Dec. 3, investigating authorities said.

The Corruption Investigation Office for Senior Officials (CIO) confirmed that the Seoul Western District Court granted the order requested by investigators probing Yoon’s short-lived martial law.

This is the first arrest warrant issued for the current president in South Korea, according to local media.

The CIO did not comment on the court’s reasoning for issuing the warrant. The court declined to comment.

It was unclear when and how the warrant for Yoon’s arrest would be executed. South Korea’s Presidential Security Service said in a statement on Tuesday that it would handle the arrest warrant in accordance with the law.

The court also granted a search warrant for Yoon’s residence, the CIO said.

Previously, the police tried but failed to raid the presidential office as part of the investigation, as the presidential security service blocked access.

Yoon faces a criminal investigation on possible sedition charges. Sedition is one of the few charges for which the South Korean president does not have immunity.

Acting leader of South Korea’s ruling People’s Power Party, Kweon Seong-dong, said on Tuesday that the attempt to detain the current president was inappropriate, according to the Yonhap news agency.
