South Korean authorities extend detention of President Yoon Suk Yeol after refusal to cooperate with investigators
ai generated text
Sitting South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol has been arrested and taken into custody on Wednesday over a probe into alleged insurrection. He will not attend a new round of questioning by investigators on Friday, according to his lawyer. In order to prolong Yoon's custody, investigators are expected to request a detention warrant for up to 20 days. This would extend his detention beyond the initial 48 hours granted under the terms of the warrant executed on Wednesday.
Yoon Suk Yeol is not following legal procedures at the expense of the national order for individual interests.
He has fully stated his basic position on the first day (of the arrest), and we believe there is no reason or need to answer the Q&A style back-and-forth.
