On June 19, the Special Investigation Team of the National Investigation Headquarters at the National Police Agency announced to the media, "We are currently consulting with the special prosecutor for insurrection regarding the application for an arrest warrant for former President Yoon, who failed to comply with the third summons."


Former President Yoon has been booked on charges of obstruction of special official duties for allegedly instructing the Presidential Security Service to prevent his own arrest. He is also accused of abuse of authority under the Presidential Security Service Act for allegedly ordering the deletion of information related to secure phones belonging to former Army Special Warfare Commander Kwak Jonggeun, former Capital Defense Commander Lee Jinwoo, and former Defense Security Commander Yeo Inhyeong on December 7, 2024, four days after the imposition of martial law.
