“The ex-president of South Korea again failed to appear for questioning in the case of high treason. Removed by impeachment, the president of South Korea, Yoon Seok-yeol, ignored the questioning regarding the accusations of high treason. His lawyers explained this by the unfinished formation of the defense team.”, — write on: unn.ua
Details
It is noted that the politician was to be interrogated by a panel composed of representatives of the Ministry of Defense, the police and the anti-corruption investigation service. The ex-president had to explain all the circumstances of his declaration of martial law, which was assessed in the parliament as an attempt to suppress political competition and eventually voted for the resignation of the head of state.
Yoon Soi-yeol’s lawyers explained that the questioning was ignored by the fact that he had not yet completed the process of forming a defense team. In the near future, he should make a statement regarding the investigation that is being conducted against him.
We will remind
South Korea’s Constitutional Court has begun impeachment hearings against President Yoon Seok-yeol after he imposed martial law. The court has 180 days to make a decision, and the president is currently suspended from power.
