SEOUL, December 16 (Xinhua) — Former President of the Republic of Korea (ROK) Yun Seok-yul, who is accused of obstructing his arrest and deleting encrypted phone records, will be sentenced on January 16 next year, local media reported on Tuesday.
The Seoul Central District Court's Criminal Division announced that public hearings are expected to conclude by December 26, with the verdict expected on January 16, 2026.
According to the law on special prosecutions under martial law, the trial court's decision must be made public within six months. The court noted that the verdict must be announced by January 19 of next year, as the special prosecutor filed the indictment on July 19 of this year.
The court is considering five charges against the former president, including obstructing arrest, deleting encrypted phone records, and making false public statements related to martial law.
On April 4, the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Korea upheld the impeachment petition against Yun Seok-yul in connection with the failed attempt to impose martial law last December, officially removing the politician from office.
