South Korea's parliament on Saturday voted to impeach embattled President Yoon Suk Yeol over his short-lived martial law decree this month, a shocking stunt that paralyzed the country's politics, halted foreign policy and spooked financial markets.
His suspension from power comes almost eight years after the impeachment of Seoul's last conservative leader, Park Geun-hye, formally removed from office by the Constitutional Court in March 2017.
Yoon, a former public prosecutor, was part of the investigation team that examined Park's charges of bribery, abuse of power and other crimes that the court concluded warranted her removal from office.
Now, Yoon faces potentially even more serious charges in the same court, which must decide whether his ill-conceived power grab amounted to rebellion.
