Seoul: Police have notified former President Yoon Suk Yeol that he should appear for questioning this week as part of their probe into Yoon's failed martial law bid, a police official investigating the case said Monday. Yoon, who was ousted in April over the botched attempt to impose martial law in December, has been asked to appear for questioning as a suspect Thursday, according to the official.
According to Yonhap News Agency, police requested that Yoon appear for questioning last Thursday, but the former president did not show up. Yoon has been booked on charges of having ordered the Presidential Security Service to block the investigative authorities' attempt to execute an arrest warrant for him in early January as part of an investigation into insurrection charges related to him.
Asked whether police would seek an arrest warrant against Yoon unless he shows up for questioning this week or later, the official chose not to comment.
