Anti-corruption officials who are investigating South Korea’s suspended president, Yoon Suk Yeol, over his short-lived martial law declaration, said on Jan. 16 that he had failed to attend a second round of questioning.

Law enforcement officers transported Yoon from his official residence in Seoul, South Korea, to the headquarters of the Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials (CIO) on Jan. 15 after he refused to cooperate with investigators for weeks.
