South Korea’s court to hold final hearing of Yoon’s impeachment trial on Feb 25
South Korea's constitutional court will hold the 11th and final hearing of President Yoon Suk-yeol's impeachment trial on February 25.
South Korean prosecutors on Tuesday said they planned to summon former President Park Geun-hye this week for questioning over a corruption scandal for which she was impeached.
Park will be summoned as a suspect over allegations that she colluded with her friend Choi Soon-sil to extort money from Samsung Group, Yonhap News Agency reported.
