SEOUL (Reuters) -- South Korean prosecutors are conducting a search operation at ousted President Yoon Suk Yeol's private residence, Yonhap News Agency reported on Tuesday. Yoon was ousted on April 4 over his attempt to declare martial law late last year.

Prosecutors investigating an influence-peddling case involving religious figures were looking for documents and material that could indicate their association with the former president and his wife, Yonhap said.
