SEOUL: South Korea's former President Yoon Suk Yeol did not attend his insurrection trial for the third consecutive week Thursday, again citing poor health.
The 10th hearing of the trial opened at the Seoul Central District Court without the appearance of Yoon, who is currently under arrest at the Seoul Detention Centre in Uiwang, just south of the Capital.
"Since he has not appeared consecutively, we will begin investigation proceedings in accordance with the Criminal Procedure Code and criminal procedure rules, " the court said.
