The impeached president reportedly relocated to a solitary cell at the Seoul Detention Center earlier.
According to Yonhap News Agency, South Korean police conducted a raid on the presidential office Monday in order to seize papers pertaining to the imposition of martial law in December by President Yoon Suk Yeol.
The impeached president was transferred to a solitary cell at the Seoul Detention Center following his official detention, according to South Korean authorities earlier.
The outlet quoted Shin Yong-hae, commissioner general of the Korea Correctional Service, as saying that Yoon was moved to the 12-square-meter cell at the detention facility in Uiwang, south of Seoul, on Sunday after the Seoul Western District Court issued a warrant for his formal arrest.
Shin told MPs that Yoon’s cell, which is known to typically house five or six individuals, is comparable in size to those used to jail previous presidents.
Following his unsuccessful attempt to impose martial law last month, a Seoul court issued a warrant on Sunday for President Yoon to be detained for an extended length of time, making him the nation’s first sitting president to be formally arrested.
