The article discusses the situation where the Joint Investigation Headquarters (referred to as ‘공조본’) sent a summons to President Yoon Suk-yeol regarding the investigation of the ‘December 3 illegal martial law incident.’ However, it has been confirmed that these summonses were not delivered to the President.
On the 17th, the Joint Investigation Headquarters announced that the summons sent to the General Secretary’s Office at the Presidential Office via the postal system was marked as ‘undeliverable,’ and the one sent to the Presidential residence was ‘refused’ and returned.
On the previous day, the 16th, investigators attempted to deliver the summons in person at the Yongsan Presidential Office but were declined by the Presidential Secretariat on the grounds that delivering a summons during the President’s suspension is not within the secretariat’s duties. A similar attempt was made at the presidential residence, but the Presidential Security Service also refused entry on the same basis.
Additionally, the summons was sent through express mail to both the presidential office and residence. However, it appears that neither was received by President Yoon’s side. The summons requested the President to appear at the Office of the Investigation of Senior Officials by 10 AM on the 18th, citing charges of being the leader in the alleged rebellion and abuse of power.
