Overview

• Former President Yoon Suk Yeol returned home late July 5 after enduring a second round of questioning for 14½ hours by the special counsel team investigating insurrection and abuse-of-power allegations.
• Interrogators pressed him on claims that he ordered the Presidential Security Service in January to obstruct a Corruption Investigation Office arrest warrant.
• He faced questions about summoning only select cabinet ministers to declare martial law, a move prosecutors say blocked legal authority and constituted abuse of power.
• Investigators also reviewed allegations that he sought to draft a retroactive martial law decree, delete secure phone records and provoke a drone incursion into North Korea to justify emergency powers.
• The special counsel is now deciding whether to summon Yoon for additional questioning or seek his detention as the probe moves toward potential charges.
