South Korea's impeached president Yoon Suk Yeol has arrived in court for the verdict over his failed martial law bid in 2024. Yoon, who is accused of obstructing justice and other charges in this case, faces a 10-year jail term if found guilty.

A Seoul court says an independent counsel has demanded a death sentence for former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol.

Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol could face the death penalty after prosecutors requested the punishment in his criminal case on Tuesday. Yoon is facing insurrection charges after he briefly declared martial law in South Korea just over a year ago.
