Police have referred former President Yoon Suk Yeol to prosecution over his wife's luxury bag case (YNA reported). Yoon also faces investigations into other criminal allegations not related to his Dec. 3 martial law decree, targeting him, his wife and others (courthousenews.com reported).
Yoon's imposition of martial law brought armed troops into Seoul streets and lasted only several hours before lawmakers voted down his decree unanimously (courthousenews.com reported).
Yoon refused to attend questioning by investigators on Friday, taking off his prison uniform and lying down on the floor at his detention room (courthousenews.com reported). Special counsel Min Joong-ki, appointed by President Lee Jae Myung, sent investigators to retrieve Yoon from a detention center near Seoul after Yoon twice defied requests to attend questioning (courthousenews.com reported).
