South Korea's ex-president Yoon Suk Yeol rearrested

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA, JUL 10 – Yoon Suk Yeol faces renewed detention over allegations of insurrection and abuse of power linked to his December 2024 martial law attempt, with courts citing risk of evidence tampering.

  • On July 10, a South Korean court issued an arrest warrant for former President Yoon Suk Yeol over his failed 2024 martial law bid, and he was re-arrested at Seoul Detention Center in Uiwang.
  • Following his impeachment and martial law bid, the court issued the warrant citing concerns Yoon might destroy evidence and attempt to subvert civilian rule.
  • According to Yonhap, Yoon and his lawyers attended the hearing and rejected all charges, calling the warrant 'excessive and lacking evidence'.
  • After the warrant was approved, Yoon was returned to Seoul Detention Center in Uiwang, where over 1,000 supporters rallied outside, awaiting further court decisions.
  • Prosecutor Cho's team is expected to accelerate the investigation into Yoon, with potential penalties including life imprisonment or death, as evidence and charges expand.
