Yoon Finally Refuses Third Summons from the Corruption Investigation Office... Steps Toward Arrest

President Yoon Seok-yeol, who is accused of insurrection and abuse of authority, refused the third summons from the High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Unit (HOCI) on the 29th. It appears that HOCI's forced detention will be inevitable.

HOCI notified President Yoon on the 26th to appear at the HOCI office in the Government Complex Gwacheon by 10 a.m. that day for questioning, but President Yoon did not show up. It is also reported that he did not submit a notice of legal representation.

Having declared, "I will not evade legal responsibility," President Yoon did not respond at all to the summons on the 18th, 25th, and this final ultimatum on the 29th. Accordingly, the possibility of HOCI requesting an arrest warrant and proceeding with forced detention has increased significantly.
