Investigators from the Corruption Investigation Office (CIO) were to resume Yoon’s questioning Thursday at 2 pm local time (0500 GMT), but his lawyer said he could not take part for health reasons, the Yonhap news agency reported.
Yoon had sought to evade arrest for weeks by remaining in his residential compound, protected by members of the Presidential Security Service (PSS) who had remained loyal to him.
As anti-graft officials and police got their fresh warrant from the same court that issued the first order, Yoon remained holed up in his residence surrounded by hundreds of guards preventing his detention.
