Yoon had survived an impeachment vote last week.
Seoul:
South Korea’s justice ministry said on Monday it had slapped a travel ban on President Yoon Suk Yeol as police probe him for insurrection over his ill-fated declaration of martial law.
At a parliamentary hearing, a lawmaker asked whether Yoon, who stands accused of leading an insurrection by declaring martial law Tuesday, had been banned from leaving the country. “Yes, that’s right,” Bae Sang-up, an immigration services commissioner at the Ministry of Justice said.
