"Yoon's detention on Thursday came after a court in the South Korean capital, Seoul, ordered his arrest, citing concerns the former leader could seek to destroy evidence."
"South Korea's former president, Yoon Suk-yeol, has been arrested for a second time and returned to a solitary jail cell over his ill-fated attempt to impose martial law last December."
"He became South Korea's first sitting president to be taken into custody when he was detained in a dawn raid in January, after spending weeks resisting arrest."
"The latest arrest warrant against Yoon authorises his detention for up to 20 days."
Yoon Suk-yeol, the former president of South Korea, was arrested again following a court ruling that raised concerns he might destroy evidence. He is currently in solitary confinement at the Seoul Detention Center. The 64-year-old politician faces trial for insurrection related to his attempt to impose martial law in December, which caused a political crisis. He is the first sitting president to be detained in this manner. His recent arrest allows for detention up to 20 days.
