Seoul, July 19 -- South Korea's special counsel investigating former President Yoon Suk-yeol's short-lived martial law imposition, indicted the ousted leader under detention on additional charges today.

Cho Eun-suk, independent counsel leading the investigation into Yoon's insurrection and other charges, prosecuted Yoon for abusing power, obstructing justice, writing bogus official documents, violating the presidential records act and committing other wrongdoings.



Yoon was charged with failing to follow proper procedures for the martial law imposition, ordering the presidential security service to block attempts in January to arrest him and giving order to delete information on security phones offered to military commanders.
