The conservative leader was stripped of his duties by parliament on December 14 after his brief declaration of martial law 11 days earlier.
: South Korea’s suspended President Yoon Suk Yeol refused a summons for questioning for the second time, an investigation team said on Monday, after he snubbed a previous one last week.
Yoon faces impeachment and criminal charges of insurrection that could see him jailed for life, or even face the death penalty, over a drama that stunned democratic South Korea’s allies around the world. But “the postal system shows the presidential office had ‘rejected the receiving’ of the summons”, the investigators said in a statement.
The investigators had called on the 64-year-old to appear for questioning at 10:00 am on Christmas Day. Local media reported that the holiday was chosen to accommodate Yoon, as traffic and crowds would likely be lighter.
