Former President Yoon Suk Yeol appeared for a second round of questioning on Saturday morning as part of an ongoing investigation into allegations of insurrection and treason tied to his Dec. 3 martial law declaration.
Yoon arrived around 9 a.m. at the special counsel’s office located within the Seoul High Prosecutors’ Office. As during his first appearance, he did not respond to questions from reporters asking whether he planned to apologize or offer a statement to the public.
The special counsel team, led by Cho Eun-seok, planned to question Yoon on a broad range of issues. These include whether he'd given orders to block the execution of an arrest warrant, allegations of tampering with secure phone records, circumstances surrounding Cabinet meetings before and after the proposed martial law and potential breaches of foreign affairs law.
