A South Korean court on Friday denied former President Yoon Suk-yeol’s request for release, keeping him in custody amid an ongoing investigation into his failed martial law attempt, Reuters reported.
The Seoul Central District Court upheld the legality of Yoon’s detention, which stems from charges including insurrection, abuse of power, and falsifying documents. The investigation, led by Special Counsel Cho Eun-suk, began in June.
Yoon was impeached in April after the Constitutional Court found his martial law push unconstitutional.
