Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol is due to face the first court ruling on Friday (Jan 16) stemming from criminal charges over his failed martial law attempt.
He could be jailed for up to 10 years if he is convicted on charges that include obstructing officials from executing an arrest warrant against him in January when he barricaded himself inside his residential compound and ordered the security service to block investigators.
Yoon faces multiple trials, including on a charge of masterminding an insurrection, with a ruling scheduled for February.
