South Korea's suspended president Yoon Suk Yeol has failed for the third time in a row to heed a summons to appear before the country's law enforcement authorities, Yonhap news agency reported Sunday.
The Corruption Investigation Office said Yoon had not shown up at its offices south of Seoul when they were summoned, Yonhap reported. Yoon had previously ignored calls on December 18 and 25.
The office was likely to issue an arrest warrant against Yoon, Yonhap said.
The corruption office is investigating Yoon for imposing martial law on December 3, before lifting the declaration hours later.
South Korea has been in a political crisis ever since. The National Assembly voted to impeach Yoon on December 14, and the Constitutional Court has launched the appropriate proceedings to make a final decision on whether the assembly's vote is constitutional or not. isn't it.
Yoon recently defended his controversial decision to impose martial law by saying he was acting to protect the country. The opposition accuses him of violating the constitution.
