South Korea's ex-acting leader indicted over former president's martial law imposition

Choi Sang-mok was indicted on dereliction of duty linked to not fully restoring the Constitutional Court during the martial law episode.
The indictment targets dereliction of duty for failing to restore all seats at the nine-member Constitutional Court, which could affect Yoon's ouster prospects.
Han Duck-soo, another acting leader, was charged with dereliction of duty in connection with the same martial law case.
Han Duck-soo was already indicted in August on abetting Yoon's martial law, according to the briefing.
Investigations into Yoon's martial law action are part of three independent probes cleared by President Lee Jae Myung.
Yoon Suk Yeol is jailed and facing rebellion charges, with other officials arrested or indicted.
Kim Keon Hee, Yoon's wife, was arrested and indicted on related financial and bribes allegations.
The Unification Church scandal has expanded political scrutiny in South Korea.
Choi Sang-mok faced perjury charges for comments at Han's trial.
President Lee Jae Myung’s administration has prioritized a thorough investigation into these issues.
