South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol faces the greatest threat to his brief but chequered political career, with his fate in the hands of judges after some of his allies turned from him and voted to impeach him on Saturday for allegedly leading an insurrection.

South Korea's law enforcement authorities on Monday said they have summoned impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol for questioning this week over charges of insurrection and abuse of power related to his failed attempt to impose martial law earlier this month.

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol's impeachment on Saturday, suspending him from his official duties, capped 11 days of political crisis that roiled his country, sparked by his surprise decision to impose martial law.

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol was impeached Saturday over his short-lived martial law decree, with twelve lawmakers from his own party joining the opposition to pass the motion in the National Assembly.
