    South Korea prosecutor seeks 10-year jail term for ex-President Yoon, Yonhap says

    -

    SEOUL, Dec ​26 (Reuters) - South Korea's special prosecutor requested a ⁠10-year prison sentence for former President Yoon Suk ‍Yeol on charges including ​obstructing attempts to arrest him following his failed bid ​to impose martial law, the Yonhap News Agency reported on Friday.

    Prosecutors have accused the ‌ousted president of trying ‌to block investigators seeking to ​arrest him in January by barricading himself inside ‌the presidential compound.

    The request ⁠is the first jail ‌term sought ​by special prosecutors over the multiple charges Yoon ⁠faces.
