South Korean prosecutors are requesting a 30-year prison term for ousted President Yoon Suk Yeol over allegations he deliberately tried to escalate tensions with rival North Korea by ordering drone flights over Pyongyang.
Yoon is charged with benefiting an adversary and abusing his powers.
The charges are among a long list of indictments against the conservative over his short-lived imposition of martial law in South Korea in December 2024.
Prosecutors claim Yoon tried to create a warlike situation between the Koreas while plotting an authoritarian push to remove his political opponents and “monopolize and extend his power.”
