Former President Yoon Suk Yeol, already ​accused of insurrection, faced additional ​criminal charges after a special counsel expanded the investigation into his ill-fated declaration of martial law.

Four months after his release, 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.

Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol is back in custody over an independent investigation into his declaration of martial law last year.
