Former President Yoon Suk-yeol was arrested by South Korean authorities on new charges related to his imposition of martial law in December. The Seoul Central District Court approved the arrest warrant due to concerns over his potential to destroy evidence. This action follows Yoon's recent release from detention four months ago. Investigations led by special prosecutor Cho Eun-suk are looking into allegations of obstructing official duties and abuse of power. Yoon could face months of custody while awaiting potential indictment on these new charges.
The arrest warrant issued by the Seoul Central District Court sent Yoon back to a detention centre near the capital, four months after his release in March.
Cho's team questioned him twice before submitting a request for his arrest warrant to the court on Sunday, suggesting Yoon poses a risk of destroying evidence.
