The arrested President of South Korea, Yoon Seok-yeol, did not appear for a second interrogation, which creates additional obstacles to the investigation of his possible involvement in the rebellion and the attempt to impose martial law in the country. About this informs Reuters.
A representative of the Corruption Perceptions Office (CIO), which is handling the case, said Yun still refuses to cooperate with investigators. Previously, a questionnaire of more than 200 pages was prepared for him, but he did not provide answers. The planned interrogation did not take place, as the president’s lawyers reported his absence.
According to Yoon’s lawyers, the reason for refusing to be interviewed was due to health problems. They also noted that further investigative actions are inappropriate, but did not specify the details. The president’s defenders believe that the warrant for his arrest was issued illegally because the court that made the decision acted outside its jurisdiction.
In addition, they claim that the team conducting the investigation does not have the necessary powers. The lawyers also filed a complaint with the prosecutor’s office against the head of the CIO and some police officers who participated in the case.
