South Korea's impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol was detained in a massive law enforcement operation at the presidential compound Wednesday morning.
Yoon said he complied with the warrant after weeks of defiance over attempts to question him in the investigation after he enacted martial law last month.
In a video message recorded before he was escorted to the headquarters of the anti-corruption agency, Yoon said the rule of law on the country had "completely collapsed.”

00:00Unfortunately, all the laws in this country have collapsed.
00:07A warrant was issued for an organization without an investigative power,
00:12and a court without an investigative power issued an arrest warrant and a search warrant.
00:22And an investigation agency issued a false statement to deceive the people.
00:29This is an illegal, illegal, illegal action.
00:34It is really disgraceful to see that the procedure is being forced by an unfilial warrant.
00:46Today, I decided to attend the public prosecutor's office
00:56to prevent an unfavorable situation by seeing them entering the security area with fire equipment.
01:14However, I do not acknowledge the investigation of this public prosecutor's office.
