Seoul: A special counsel team plans to summon former President Yoon Suk Yeol this week for another round of questioning over insurrection charges tied to his Dec. 3 martial law declaration after grilling him for the first time over the weekend. After a 15-hour session, Yoon left the Seoul High Prosecutors Office in southern Seoul early Sunday, following questioning over allegations that he ordered the Presidential Security Service to block his arrest when investigators attempted to execute a warrant in January.
According to Yonhap News Agency, the special counsel team has notified Yoon to appear for questioning again on Monday. It plans to summon him for questioning indefinitely until it wraps up the investigation. Special prosecutors questioned Yoon for about five hours during the marathon session, which was partially suspended due to objections from Yoon's lawyers over the presence of a police investigator whom they claimed was unfit to question the former president.
Yoon's lawyers told reporters after the session that the former president responded to the questions to the best of his knowledge. Yoon did not respond to reporters' questions when entering or leaving the building.
