Former South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol left the presidential residence in Seoul for his private home, a week after the Constitutional Court removed him from office over his ill-fated imposition of martial law in December.

In recent days, moving trucks were seen driving in and out of the walled presidential compound in the Hannam-dong district, the site of a massive law enforcement operation in January that led to Mr Yoon’s detainment.
