South Korea’s disgraced former president Yoon Suk Yeol has been sent back to a detention center after a Seoul court issued a warrant for his arrest about four months after his release.
Yoon's brief, ill-fated imposition of martial law on 3 December led to his indictment on charges that he directed a rebellion, which is punishable by life imprisonment or death. Prompted by concerns he might destroy evidence, Yoon’s arrest could mark the start of a prolonged period in custody as investigators pursue additional charges.
