Former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun, a key figure in the emergency martial law crisis, did not respond to the summons of the high-ranking government official's criminal investigation office over the weekend and attended the prosecution's investigation.
The special investigation headquarters of the prosecution's emergency martial law is summoning and investigating former Minister Kim to strengthen charges such as critical civil war mission workers ahead of the expiration of his arrest on the 28th.
The Criminal Investigation Department of high-ranking government officials, who took over the investigation of President Yoon Suk Yeol from the prosecution, also planned to summon former Minister Kim on the 21st, but it was confirmed that the investigation was canceled due to Kim's refusal.
The prosecution is expected to check the progress of the Cabinet meeting before and after the emergency martial law, the declaration of martial law, and the preparation of the decree and hand it over to trial soon.
