SEOUL, June 29 (AJP) - A special counsel team concluded its initial round of questioning with former President Yoon Suk Yeol, Sunday, as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged insurrection related to his declaration of martial law on Dec. 3.

Yoon was allowed to leave after 15 hours of interrogation. Prosecutors, however, plans to summon him again at 9 a.m. Monday for further inquiry.

The session marked a striking moment of reversal for Yoon, who was questioned for the first time inside the very prosecutors’ office where he once served — and where he rose to national prominence leading a special counsel probe into former President Park Geun-hye’s corruption scandal.
