The Justice Ministry denied allegations that former President Yoon Suk Yeol has been receiving preferential treatment at Seoul Detention Center, including claims that he has been using three prison cells by himself.
“Former President Yoon is using just one solitary cell, no different from those used by ordinary inmates,” the ministry said Tuesday.
