The leadership crisis in South Korea deepened further on Sunday after prosecutors named president Yoon Suk Yeol as the subject of a criminal investigation over his failed attempt to impose martial law, and as his former defence minister was arrested.
Mr Yoon survived an impeachment vote on Saturday after members of his party boycotted the move. But the leader of his ruling People Power Party (PPP) Han Dong Hoon said in a joint public address with prime minister Han Duck Soo that the president would be “excluded from his duties”.
