South Korean prosecutors have indicted the impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol on rebellion in connection with his martial law decree that plunged the country into political turmoil. Yoon was earlier impeached and arrested over the martial law decree.

After lawyers of South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol argued that his arrest on January 15 was unlawful, a photo spread in social media posts falsely claiming it showed a search warrant used to illegally detain him rather than an arrest warrant.

A Seoul court issued a warrant Saturday to detain impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol for an extended period over his botched martial law bid last month in the first such detention of a sitting South Korean president.

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has been detained after a massive law enforcement operation at the presidential compound that ended a weeks-long stand-off between his bodyguards and the country’s anti-corruption agency.

A South Korean court on Friday rejected a request from the prosecutors' office to extend the detention of impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol over a criminal investigation into his short-lived martial law declaration on Dec.

The agency leading criminal investigations into impeached former-leader Yoon Suk Yeol have recommended he be formally charged with insurrection and abuse of power. View on euronews
