Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 51006, member: 636"] Disgraced former president Yoon Suk-yeol found himself back behind bars Thursday after judges granted prosecutors their detention warrant. The Seoul Central District Court sided with investigators who claimed the ex-leader might tamper with evidence related to his involvement in the martial law fiasco. Yoon had enjoyed four months of freedom at his fancy Seoul apartment with his wife and eleven furry companions. The court's decision sends him straight back to the same detention center where he previously spent nearly two months. Officials worry he could interfere with the ongoing probe into his power-grab attempt. The fallen politician must adjust to harsh prison conditions during a brutal heat wave sweeping the country. His cramped ten-square-meter cell features a floor mattress and relies on a tiny electric fan that shuts off at night. Guards served inmates steamed potatoes and mini cheese breads for breakfast on Thursday morning. The facility houses Yoon in solitary confinement while prosecutors prepare their case against him. Air conditioning remains off limits as temperatures soar across the region. Criminal charges for insurrection could land Yoon in prison for life or face execution if convicted. The Constitutional Court already booted him from office after parliament voted to impeach him over the martial law crisis. Special prosecutors plan to grill Yoon on Friday about additional allegations, including whether he deliberately stirred up tensions with North Korea. His legal team claimed health problems prevented him from attending Thursday's court hearing. The investigation continues as prosecutors examine whether Yoon damaged South Korea's national interests through his actions. [/QUOTE]
