Overview

• Police raids on the presidential office, PSS facilities, and official residences are part of an ongoing investigation into obstruction of justice tied to former President Yoon Suk Yeol's martial law declaration.
• A five-hour standoff occurred as the Presidential Security Service resisted police efforts to seize evidence, including secure phone servers and internal documents.
• Acting PSS Chief Kim Seong-hoon has offered to resign following a staff petition accusing him of blocking the execution of an arrest warrant for Yoon earlier this year.
• Investigations also target CCTV footage and evidence related to insurrection charges against former Interior Minister Lee Sang-min, who is accused of actions during the December 2024 martial law declaration.
• The legal fallout from Yoon's failed martial law declaration and impeachment continues to escalate, with public and institutional scrutiny on the PSS's role in obstructing justice.
