South Korea's former president Yoon Suk Yeol exited the Seoul Central District Court and was escorted to the Seoul Detention Center late Wednesday after attending a hearing that lasted about seven hours.

Early Thursday, the court approved a fresh arrest warrant for the former leader and placed him in custody. Once the warrant was issued, Yoon was placed in a solitary cell at the facility, where he can be held for up to 20 days as prosecutors prepare to formally indict him including on additional charges.
