SEOUL, July 30 (UPI) -- South Korean special prosecutors investigating allegations against former First Lady Kim Keon Hee said Wednesday that they requested an arrest warrant to bring in former President Yoon Suk Yeol for questioning over election meddling charges.
The request was made after Yoon defied a summons by prosecutor Min Joong-ki for a second time.
"The special prosecutors again notified former President Yoon, who failed to appear yesterday, to appear at 10:00 AM today," assistant special counsel Oh Jeong-hee said during a press briefing. "However, former President Yoon did not appear, both yesterday and today, without providing any reason."
"The special prosecutor's office filed an arrest warrant for former President Yoon Suk Yeol this afternoon," Oh said.
