SEOUL — According to local media, former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol went before a special prosecutor on Saturday to answer questions on insurrection-related charges related to his contentious declaration of martial law in December. Yoon showed up for an official investigation into his proclamation of martial law on December 3 at the Seoul High Prosecutors Office in southern Seoul, where he formerly worked as a prosecutor.
According to Yonhap News Agency, the measure was taken two weeks after his conduct were the subject of a special counsel probe. In order to minimise media attention, Yoon’s legal team requested a private entry; however, officials refused and he had to enter through the public door. Yoon had previously disregarded three police summonses, according to the prosecution. In April, the constitutional court declared that the previous president’s effort to establish martial law was illegal, leading to his removal from office. He became the first South Korean president to be detained while in office when he was arrested in January and charged with orchestrating an uprising and abusing his position of authority.
