Overview

• The first execution of the August arrest warrant was called off after Yoon lay on the floor of his cell in underwear and refused to wear his prison uniform.
• Investigators have warned they will use physical force if necessary when they attempt to detain the former president again.
• No further detention attempt will occur before the special counsel meets with Yoon’s newly appointed lawyer, former Constitutional Court spokesperson Bae Bo-yoon.
• A separate summons for Kim Keon Hee is scheduled this Wednesday as part of an influence-peddling, bribery and stock manipulation probe linked to the 2022 parliamentary by-elections.
• Yoon’s legal team has decried the probe as a political witch hunt while Justice Minister Jung Sung-ho labeled his resistance an affront to rule-of-law norms.
