South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol faces a string of legal battles as the suspended leader fights to save his political career and avoid prison following his brief imposition of martial law last year .

Yoon’s December 3 decree threw South Korea into turmoil when he banned political activity and sent troops to the heart of democracy only to reverse the move.

On December 14 , parliament voted to impeach him, suspending his presidential powers.

A defiant Yoon has vowed to “fight to the end,” as the country’s top court reviews his impeachment and appears in a separate criminal trial for insurrection.

Police have been investigating Yoon on suspicion of special obstruction of public duty since around January 3 .

The crime is punishable by up to five years in jail.

Yoon described it as an opportunity to “arrest” a list of 14 political and legal adversaries and to clean everything up” - which Yoon denies.
