Yoon, a conservative, faces investigations into other criminal allegations that are not related to his Dec. 3 martial law decree but target him, his wife and others.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, Min Joong-ki, a special counsel named by his liberal rival and new President Lee Jae Myung, sent investigators to retrieve Yoon from a detention center near Seoul after the former president twice defied requests to attend questioning. Min&#8217;s team is tasked with delving into allegations surrounding Yoon&#8217;s wife, Kim Keon Hee, including that she and her husband exerted inappropriate influence on the then-ruling party&#8217;s election nomination process in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Min&#8217;s team had a court-issued detention warrant that authorized them to bring Yoon out of his detention facility by force, but said they were hoping for his voluntary cooperation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Without wearing his prison uniform, the suspect lay down on the floor and strongly resisted his detention,&#8221; assistant special counsel Oh Jeong-hee told a televised briefing.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Minister Jung Sung-ho separately told lawmakers that Yoon took off his shorts and short-sleeved shirt and put them back on after investigators left.<\/p>\n<p>Oh said her team members refrained from using physical means out of safety concerns, but notified Yoon that they would execute the warrant next time. She urged Yoon to cooperate, as the Korean people are closely watching whether the enforcement of the law is applied to everyone equally.<\/p>\n<p>Yu Jeong-hwa, a lawyer for Yoon, accused the special counsel team of trampling on Yoon&#8217;s dignity and honor by discussing his dress in prison, according to local media reports.<\/p>\n<p>Yoon&#8217;s defense team earlier said Yoon was unable to attend his trial and undergo questioning by investigators because of heath problems. They said in a statement Thursday that Yoon has cardiovascular, autonomic nervous system and eye issues. They cited an unidentified hospital as saying that Yoon faces the risk of blindness because he failed to receive medical treatment for the past three months.<\/p>\n<p>Yoon&#8217;s Dec. 3\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/south-korea-president-martial-law-emergency\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">imposition of martial law<\/a><\/span>, which brought armed troops into Seoul streets, lasted only several hours before lawmakers voted down his decree unanimously. It plunged the country into political turmoil.<\/p>\n<p>Yoon said he imposed martial law out of frustration with the opposition and vowed to eliminate &#8220;anti-state&#8221; forces. During a televised speech at the time, he said martial law would help &#8220;rebuild and protect&#8221; the country from &#8220;falling into the depths of national ruin.<\/p>\n<p>The liberal opposition-controlled National Assembly voted to impeach Yoon, leading to his suspension from office. He was arrested and indicted in January.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n<p><h3
