South Korea’s special prosecutor on Nov 10 indicted former president Yoon Suk Yeol on additional charges of abusing power and aiding an enemy state related to his short-lived imposition of martial law in 2024.

Yoon attempted to provoke military conflict between the two Koreas in order to declare martial law, a prosecutor’s spokeswoman told a briefing, citing evidence found on a military official’s mobile phone that included some words suggesting potential provocations against North Korea, such as “drones” and “surgical strike”.

Yoon was removed from office by the Constitutional Court in April and is on trial for insurrection stemming from his failed martial law declaration.

If found guilty, he could be sentenced to death.
