Ex-President Yoon Again Fails to Appear for Special Counsel Questioning

Seoul: Former President Yoon Suk Yeol again did not appear for questioning by a special counsel on Wednesday. Yoon, who is under arrest over his martial law attempt in December, was summoned to appear at special counsel Min Joong-ki's office by 10 a.m. to be questioned about his alleged meddling in the 2022 parliamentary by-elections.

According to Yonhap News Agency, Yoon also snubbed the special counsel's earlier summons to appear for questioning Tuesday, citing his deteriorating health. The former president's absence raises questions about his willingness to cooperate with the investigation, which could have significant implications for his legal standing and the broader political landscape.
