Seoul: Kim Seong-hoon, former deputy chief of the Presidential Security Service (PSS), appeared before a special counsel team Thursday to undergo questioning in connection with former President Yoon Suk Yeol's martial law bid. Kim arrived at the office of special counsel Cho Eun-suk as the team looks into allegations Yoon ordered the PSS to block investigators from executing a warrant to detain him in early January.
According to Yonhap News Agency, the special counsel team has also been looking into whether Yoon ordered the PSS to delete records from secure phones used by several military commanders after his attempt to impose martial law in December failed. Yoon is scheduled to appear for a second round of questioning by the team Saturday.
On Wednesday, the team questioned former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, Industry Minister Ahn Duk-geun, and Science and ICT Minister Yoo Sang-im about the details of two Cabinet meetings held immediately before and after Yoon declared martial law.
