Massive security needed to arrest impeached South Korean President Yoon, experts say | ABS-CBN News

Massive security personnel will be needed if South Korean authorities are to make a new arrest attempt of impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol for insurrection, experts said on Wednesday (January 8). Yoon faces a new and potentially more robust attempt to arrest him for insurrection after a top investigator vowed to do whatever it takes to break a security blockade and take in the embattled leader. The Presidential Security Service (PSS) has been fortifying the compound this week with barbed wire and barricades using buses to block access to the residence, a hillside villa in an upscale district known as Korea's Beverly Hills. "Since the doors are blocked, and the barricades along with the barbed wire has been set up, it is now necessary to mobilize special forces of the police, and people with special skills to breach the obstacles," said Ryu Sam-young, a former senior police officer and member of the opposition Democratic Party. "If there are around 300 to 400 people inside (the presidential residence), we would need about 10 times that number of personnel, and various equipment to remove the barricades," he said, adding that safety is paramount in all situations.
