Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has been rearrested following an independent investigation into his controversial declaration of martial law last year. A Seoul court approved a warrant for his re-arrest due to concerns about evidence destruction. Yoon's declaration, which briefly plunged the country into a constitutional crisis, led to his impeachment and removal from office. He now faces charges including abuse of power and obstruction of justice, accusations he denies. His lawyers claim the investigation is politically motivated and evidence is already secured.
