Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol will face his first criminal trial on Monday, just 10 days after being dismissed from office by the Constitutional Court, Yonhap reported, citing an unidentified source in the law industry.

By Joyce Lee and Ju-min Park SEOUL (Reuters) -South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol was ousted by the Constitutional Court on Friday, which upheld parliament's impeachment motion over his short-lived imposition of martial law last year that sparked the country's worst political crisis in decades.

South Korea's Constitutional Court Friday upheld the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol, ousting him from office. The decision now starts a 60-day countdown where a presidential election must be held to select the next president.
