President Yoon is not responding to the investigation by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit at all?

[Reporter]
Yes, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit informed President Yoon, who was detained at the Seoul Detention Center, to come out at 10 a.m. today for investigation.

But I didn't attend without any notice.

Yoon's lawyer confirmed to YTN reporters that he was not willing to attend, saying the illegality was not resolved.President

Yoon has not responded to the investigation by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit until yesterday and today, saying that he fully stated his position in the first investigation and that there is no change in this position.

On the 15th, when he was arrested, the investigation was all for about 10 hours, but it was found that President Yoon exercised his right to silence and only claimed that martial law was the president's authority.

So far, the airlift has delivered it to you.
