On the 21st, Hugo announced, "This afternoon, six prosecutors and investigators visited Seoul Detention Center to forcibly summon and conduct an on-site face-to-face investigation of suspect Yoon Seok-yeol."

Hugo is expected to attempt a forcible summons once President Yoon returns to the detention center after concluding the Constitutional Court impeachment trial arguments. If forcible summons proves difficult, there is a possibility of conducting the investigation within the detention center.

The previous day around 3 p.m., Hugo sent six prosecutors and investigators to Seoul Detention Center to attempt a forcible summons, but it failed due to refusal by President Yoon's side.

Since the arrest warrant was issued in the early hours of the 19th, President Yoon has not responded to two summons notifications from Hugo.
