Four months after his release, South Korea’s disgraced former President Yoon Suk Yeol has been sent back to a detention center after a Seoul court issued a warrant for his arrest.

SEOUL, July 14 (Yonhap) -- Arrested former President Yoon Suk Yeol again refused to appear for questioning by a special counsel team Monday over his failed martial law bid. Yoon, who has been held at the Seoul Detention Center since his second arrest last Thursday, had been asked to appear at the special counsel's office for questioning at 2 p.m.

Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol is back in custody over an independent investigation into his declaration of martial law last year.
