Overview

• The summons follows charges that Yoon ordered the Presidential Security Service to block a January detention warrant and to delete secure phone records after his Dec. 3 martial law attempt collapsed.
• Yoon ignored two previous police orders to appear, failing to make contact by 10 a.m. on both June 5 and June 12.
• His lawyer, Yun Gap-geun, filed an opinion arguing the summons lacks legal basis and stated Yoon will not comply.
• Police say they may seek an arrest warrant or carry out an on-site investigation if Yoon again fails to attend the scheduled questioning.
• Yoon’s trial for insurrection over the failed martial law declaration has highlighted deep political divisions and carries potential penalties of life imprisonment or the death sentence.
