The Special Prosecutor's team, led by Kwon Chang-young, is questioning former Seoul Central District Prosecutor Lee Chang-soo on June 15 regarding allegations of covering up the Deutsche Motors investigation.

The questioning is set to begin at 10 a.m., with Lee appearing as a suspect in the case involving the creation of false documents.

Lee arrived at the Special Prosecutor's Office in Gwacheon at approximately 9:10 a.m. He did not respond to questions from reporters as he made his way to the interrogation room.

Lee is accused of altering investigation reports and non-prosecution documents in a case that exonerated Kim Geon-hee, the wife of President Yoon Suk-yeol. He is also alleged to have exerted pressure on the investigation team to reference precedents of non-prosecution related to stock manipulation. Lee has denied the allegations.

Meanwhile, the Special Prosecutor's Office plans to summon Choi Jae-hoon, the former head of the anti-corruption division at the Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office, for questioning on June 16 regarding the Deutsche Motors case.
