South Korea’s ex-president Yoon Suk Yeol has been found guilty of abuse of power, falsifying documents and obstructing justice when he tried and failed to impose martial law in the country in 2024.
He has also been sentenced to five years in jail.
Yoon is facing three other trials for charges ranging from insurrection to violating campaign law.
The verdict comes more than a year after his short-lived decree threw South Korea into political turmoil, leaving it deeply divided.
