THE special counsel investigating the 2023 death of a marine said it has indicted former president Yoon Suk-yeol on charges of allegedly interfering with a military probe into the case.

Yoon has been questioned by the special counsel over suspicions that he ordered the presidential office and the defence ministry to reverse the initial findings of a military investigation into the death of Cpl Chae Su-geun in order to relieve a then marine commander of responsibility.
