The Seoul Central District Court on July 10 approved the arrest of former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol on charges related to his brief martial law decree in December 2024.
The decision followed a seven-hour hearing on June 9. Special prosecutor Cho Eun-suk argued that the president posed a risk of destroying evidence—a claim that the court ultimately accepted, resulting in the decision to detain Yoon.
