South Korean prosecutors indicted impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol Sunday for being the "ringleader of an insurrection" after his abortive declaration of martial law, ordering the suspended leader to remain in detention.

He was impeached soon after, and earlier this month became the first sitting South Korean head of state to be arrested.
