[Financial News] Former President Yoon Seok-yeol, who refused the execution of the arrest warrant by the Kim Geon-hee Special Prosecutor Team (Min Jung-gi Special Prosecutor), has submitted an attorney appointment document.
The special prosecutor team announced on the 5th that former President Yoon submitted the attorney appointment document. Although Yoon's side stated on the 2nd that they submitted the appointment documents for attorneys Kim Hong-il and Bae Bo-yun, the special prosecutor team claimed they had not received the documents until the previous day, continuing the confrontation.
As the special prosecutor team has received the attorney appointment document from Yoon's side, they plan to discuss with the defense team the schedule and method of the summons investigation. Since Yoon refused the execution of the arrest warrant by the special prosecutor team on the 1st, the team was experiencing difficulties in conducting a face-to-face investigation.
The special prosecutor team intends to explore a plan for Yoon to voluntarily appear through discussions with Yoon's side, rather than forcibly executing the arrest warrant. Considering safety reasons and the courtesy due to a former president, the special prosecutor team seems to be coordinating with the defense team for Yoon to appear in person.
The special prosecutor team announced that they would not execute the arrest warrant until the 6th to facilitate discussions with the defense team. However, with the expiration date of the arrest warrant approaching on the 7th, the special prosecutor team aims to lead discussions with the defense team regarding Yoon's appearance as much as possible.
