Yoon was formally stripped of office in April, after being impeached and suspended by lawmakers over his December 3 attempt to subvert civilian rule, which saw armed soldiers deployed to parliament.
However, he has refused several summons issued by a special counsel formed to investigate the martial law declaration that parliament voted to launch earlier in the month.
“The arrest warrant was requested in order to conduct the suspect’s interrogation,“ it said, adding that “he has clearly indicated his intention not to respond to future summons”.
“He is the only one who has refused to comply,“ said Park.

The former president’s next trial hearing is set to be held on July 3.
