South Korean court has found ex-president Yoon Suk Yeol guilty of masterminding an insurrection.
The 65-year-old has been sentenced to life in prison over his botched attempt in December 2024 at imposing military rule.
Yoon's order lasted just six hours but shook the country - it paralysed what was left of the government and cost his party the next election
It also polarised South Korea, and that is evident today as crowds of his supporters gather to protest outside the court.
Yoon is already serving jail time for another conviction over the martial law order. He still facfull of cannabis plants – and Ngyuen hidden away.
In his interview the 39-year-old – who originally gave an alias – claimed that he did not know what type of plant he was growing.
Sussex Police said this was “unlikely”.
Nguyen was later charged with abstracting/using electricity without authority, obstruct/resisting a constable in the execution of duty, being concerned in the production of a Class B drug, and for being concerned in the supply of a controlled Class B drug.
