SEOUL:

The former prosecutor has remained defiant throughout weeks of hearings, blaming a "malicious" opposition for his December bid to suspend civilian rule. The attempt only lasted six hours as the opposition-led parliament voted the declaration down and later impeached him over the move.

Yoon was detained last month on insurrection charges, becoming the first sitting South Korean head of state to be arrested.
