Ex-president Yoon under probe by special prosecutor


Former President Yoon Suk-yeol answered a summons by a special prosecutor under a threat of another arrest as an investigation intensified over the ousted leader’s failed bid to impose martial law in December.

Yoon, through his lawyers, has protested the special prosecutor’s demands to appear for questioning under media attention as a violation of his rights and a tactic to publicly humiliate him.
