SEOUL, May 28 (Yonhap) -- A Seoul court on Thursday acquitted former President Yoon Suk Yeol of giving false testimony during former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo's insurrection trial.

Yoon had been indicted on charges of perjury for giving a false impression during Han's trial last year that the Cabinet meeting he convened before declaring martial law on Dec. 3, 2024, was planned even before Han suggested it.
