The Special Investigation Team for Insurrection resumed its investigation of former President Yoon Suk-yeol around 1:07 p.m. on the 5th.
On this day, it was reported that former President Yoon's lunch was beef bone soup delivered from a nearby restaurant. After the afternoon investigation, he is said to plan to have kimchi stew and receive a nighttime investigation.
Earlier, the Special Investigation Team for Insurrection began its investigation into the obstruction of the execution of an arrest warrant from 9:04 a.m. for about three hours.
Director General Park Eok-su and Director General Jang Woo-sung led the team, while Chief Prosecutors Kim Jung-guk and Jo Jae-cheol handled the questioning. Chief Superintendent Park Chang-hwan of the Korean National Police Agency and Prosecutor Koo Seung-ki are supporting the investigation.
Special Prosecutor Park Ji-young from the Special Investigation Team for Insurrection said at a briefing that 'from what I have confirmed, the questioning is proceeding smoothly.'
Former President Yoon has been under investigation by the Special Investigation Team for Insurrection, following a police investigation for allegedly mobilizing employees of the Presidential Security Service on January 3rd to obstruct the execution of an arrest warrant by the police and the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO) for the charge of obstruction of special official duties.
During this second summons investigation, the Special Investigation Team for Insurrection also plans to investigate allegations of: △ instructions to delete a secret phone (instruction of abuse of authority under the Presidential Security Service Act), △ abuse of authority against cabinet members, and △ allegations of North Wind operation (general treason or foreign currency inducement).
Park, a Chief Superintendent who opposed participating in the investigation, took on support roles instead of direct questioning. When asked whether he considered the opposition from former President Yoon's side, Prosecutor Park noted, 'We considered the large amount of documentation and the need for a prompt investigation for the efficiency of the investigation.'
