On the 5th, the special prosecutor for the rebellion stated that Yoon Suk-yeol, former president, immediately began the investigation after arriving at the Seoul High Prosecutors' Office for a second round of questioning without a separate interview.
Jo Eun-seok, the special prosecutor for the rebellion, investigated several government ministers and defense officials for a week following the first round of questioning. It is expected that the second investigation will be based on the information obtained from this.
The special prosecutor's team had previously notified former President Yoon that the second summons for questioning was scheduled for the 1st. However, as former President Yoon did not comply, the appearance date was reassigned to 9 a.m. on that day.
Former President Yoon's representatives requested to delay the appearance time to 10 a.m., but the special prosecutor's team did not accept this. In response, former President Yoon's side stated that they would attend around 9 a.m., even if they were 10 to 20 minutes late. Subsequently, former President Yoon arrived at the Seoul High Prosecutors' Office at 9 a.m.
Meanwhile, former President Yoon is facing allegations of directing interference with the execution of a warrant for his arrest (obstruction of special official duties and abuse of authority). Additionally, he is accused of having ordered the deletion of information from the secure phone of military commanders at the Presidential Security Service to destroy evidence (instigation of abuse of authority under the Presidential Security Act).
