Overview
- Yoon Suk Yeol notified detention officials he will not attend a special counsel session scheduled for Wednesday.
- The summons sought to question him over reported allegations of an October drone dispatch to Pyongyang, which investigators have so far explored through military witnesses.
- He remains held at Seoul Detention Center in Uiwang and is already on trial on insurrection and related abuse-of-power charges from his December martial law bid.
- Investigators have additionally indicted him for alleged abuse of authority and obstruction, with a first hearing set for Friday that his lawyers say he must attend.
- The Seoul Central District Court will also hear his bail request Friday, following repeated absences from his insurrection trial that his team attributes to health issues.
