Prosecutors make another request for extension of Yoon's arrest after court's denial
- South Korean prosecutors requested another extension of impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol's detention after a court denied a previous request on Jan 24, as reported by Yonhap News Agency.
- Yoon was arrested on insurrection charges, marking the first time a sitting South Korean head of state has been detained in a criminal investigation.
- The court rejected the extension request, stating it was 'difficult to find sufficient grounds,' which means prosecutors must act quickly to indict Yoon.
- If the Constitutional Court upholds his impeachment, a new election must occur within 60 days, as noted by legal experts.
