South Korean investigators are continuing their efforts to question impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol regarding his declaration of martial law on December 3. Despite his repeated refusal to cooperate, Yoon has been summoned for questioning on Christmas Day by the Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials. The investigation team, along with police and military authorities, is looking into allegations of abuse of authority and orchestrating a rebellion against Yoon.
Yoon's presidential powers have been suspended since his impeachment on December 14, and he has been avoiding requests for questioning and blocking searches of his office. Under South Korean laws, locations potentially linked to military secrets cannot be searched without the consent of the person in charge. It remains uncertain what actions investigators can take if Yoon continues to reject their demands.
