Source: Al Jazeera [Qatari state media]

“Impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol has rebuffed investigators, who are seeking answers over his failed bid to declare martial law, as the country’s Constitutional Court begins a parallel process of deciding whether he should be removed from office. Prosecutors issued Yoon with a second summons on Monday for questioning over insurrection and abuse of power allegations after he ‘refused to comply’ with a similar request on Sunday. … Yoon announced his legal defence team on Monday, naming longtime prosecutor, Kim Hong-il, as his chief legal representative, the News1 agency reported.” (12/16/24)
