South Korea extends special counsel probe into ex-President Yoon Suk Yeol and his wife by 60 days amid insurrection, corruption, and election interference charges.
South Korea has extended its special counsel investigation into former President Yoon Suk Yeol and his wife by up to 60 days, doubling the original term, as lawmakers and the Cabinet approved the revision.
Yoon, detained since July on charges including insurrection and abuse of power following his December 2024 martial law declaration, faces additional scrutiny over allegations he ordered a drone mission near Pyongyang to provoke North Korea and justify emergency rule.
His wife was arrested last month on corruption and election interference charges, which she denies.
A bail hearing is set for Friday, with Yoon’s legal team citing health concerns and the need to prepare his defense.
He declined to appear for questioning, prompting officials to assess next steps.
The case continues to test South Korea’s commitment to accountability and democratic rule.
