SOUTH KOREA’S Constitutional Court unanimously removed Yoon Suk Yeol from the country’s presidency today.

The verdict comes four months after Mr Yoon threw the nation into turmoil with an ill-judged declaration of martial law.

The verdict capped a dramatic fall for the right-wing former prosecutor who became president in 2022, just a year after he entered politics.
