It was announced on the 16th that Kim Hong-il, former chairman of the Korea Communications Commission, will lead the lawyers of President Yoon Suk Yeol.It was a week after the ban on President Yoon
was imposed and the police disclosed the charges.
A few more days later, the lawyers are not coming to the fore.
[Seok Dong-hyun / Attorney (Yoon Suk Yeol Presidential Legal Advisory): I didn't bring you here to make an official statement, to hold a press conference, or to brief you.]
{President Yoon's investigation has accelerated and the impeachment trial has begun preparations, but he has not even issued a senior appointment.
It's because we haven't properly set up our lawyers yet, and we don't even have a promise when it will be completed.
[Seok Dong-hyun / Attorney (Yoon Suk Yeol Presidential Legal Consultation): Let me just say that (the formation of the lawyers) will not be long. (Is it not long before the end of this year?) I can't tell you that.]
Although there are no similar cases in normal cases,
It is pointed out that President Yoon's side is creating a response strategy and using a delay strategy to reverse public opinion.
Some analysts say that as the investigation of the incumbent president and the political case of impeachment overlap, it is delayed due to the need to increase the size of the lawyers.
In fact, in the impeachment trial of former President Park Geun Hye, nine people attended on the first hearing date and have increased significantly since then.
With the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, which took over President Yoon Suk Yeol's case, expected to notify the second summons shortly
In Seocho-dong,
, there is even a rumor that President Yoon Suk Yeol is having a hard time forming a defense team.
