US EditionSouth Korea ex-President Yoon indicted again as martial law probe continues
SOUTH KOREA, JUL 19 – Yoon Suk-yeol faces expanded charges including abuse of power and document forgery over his December 2024 martial law declaration that triggered a major political crisis, prosecutors said.
- On July 19, 2025, while detained at Seoul Detention Center, South Korea's ex-president Yoon Suk Yeol faced new criminal allegations as part of an ongoing investigation.
- The indictment follows a special prosecutor’s investigation launched in June into Yoon’s short-lived December declaration of martial law.
- The new allegations involve infringing on others' rights through misuse of power, directing the removal of documents, and preventing the enforcement of arrest warrants.
- Earlier this week, a court turned down Yoon’s plea for early release from custody, and he has maintained his innocence.
- Yoon remains on trial for insurrection, which carries penalties including death or life imprisonment, while the investigation continues.
