Seoul: Former President Yoon Suk Yeol appeared for questioning by a special counsel team on Saturday over insurrection charges related to his martial law declaration in December. Yoon arrived at the Seoul High Prosecutors Office in southern Seoul at 9:56 a.m. for questioning about the Dec. 3 martial law imposition, two weeks after the special counsel probe was launched.
According to Yonhap News Agency, it marked the first time Yoon is being questioned inside the prosecutors' office where he once served as a prosecutor. Yoon arrived through the main entrance in a black van and walked up to the entrance expressionless and without answering reporters' questions. Earlier, Yoon's team had requested that he be allowed to enter privately through the underground parking lot, but the request was denied.
