South Korea’s impeached president, Yoon Suk Yeol, has been formally arrested, days after being apprehended at his presidential compound in Seoul.

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol attended on Tuesday a Constitutional Court hearing of his impeachment trial where he denied ordering military commanders to drag lawmakers out of parliament during his short-lived bid to impose martial law.

After impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol spent his first days in jail following his arrest on insurrection charges over his botched declaration of martial law, an image circulated in social media posts that falsely claimed it showed the suspended leader's mug shot.
