South Korean prosecutors are seeking to formally arrest the former defence minister alleged to have colluded with President Yoon Suk Yeol in imposing martial law last week, as both men are being investigated on rebellion and other charges. Martial law lasted only about six hours but was the first of its kind in more than 40 years and has caused a domestic firestorm and large street protests. Yoon and his associates face criminal investigations and impeachment attempts. The Justice Ministry has banned Yoon and eight others from leaving the country as authorities see them as key suspects in the martial law case. It's the first time that a sitting president in South Korea has received such a travel ban. The Seoul Central District Court said Tuesday it'll review prosecutors' request for a warrant to arrest former Defense Minister Kim Yong Hyun, who has been accused of recommending martial law to Yoon and sending troops to the National Assembly to block lawmakers from voting on it.

Revenue growth of the organised luggage industry is likely to decline 8-10 per cent year-on-year this fiscal, driven by a high base as industry size almost doubled between 2021-22 and 2023-24, a report said on Monday. Demand is expected to remain stable, backed by continued penetration of hard luggage, steady tourism and corporate travel, it added. The organised luggage industry's revenue growth is expected to fall to 8-10 per cent in FY25 from 18 per cent seen during the last fiscal, primarily due to a high base, as industry size almost doubled between FY22 and FY24, Crisil Ratings said in a statement. The realisations have reduced due to two factors -- increasing competition among manufacturers, with the entry of new players and growth in inventory levels due to moderation in volume growth, which has led to aggressive pricing and impacted average selling prices, mainly in the economy segment. With falling realisations, operating margin dipped 150 basis points (bps) in 2023-24 and
