SEOUL (Reuters): South Korea's Constitutional Court on Monday began reviewing the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol over his Dec 3 martial law proclamation, starting a process to decide if he will be removed from office, while investigators plan to question him this week on criminal charges.

The court will hold the first public hearing on Dec. 27, spokesperson Lee Jean told a news conference, after the court's six justices met to discuss plans for reviewing the impeachment by the opposition-controlled parliament on Saturday.
