The special investigation team is expected to conduct a second summons investigation of former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo on the 19th, according to reports on the 18th. Former Prime Minister Han is under suspicion of having aided and abetted the martial law declared on December 3 of last year.
The special investigation team stated in a notice sent to the media that it requested the summons of former Prime Minister Han at 9:30 a.m. tomorrow (the 19th). The team regards former Prime Minister Han as a suspect related to important duties in the insurrection and perjury allegations.
The special investigation team is reported to be investigating suspicions that a new martial law proclamation was drafted and then discarded after former President Yoon Suk-yeol declared martial law against former Prime Minister Han.
Former Prime Minister Han is said to have signed a document written by former presidential secretary Kang Ui-koo after the martial law was declared and, a few days later, requested to treat it as if it never happened, saying that 'if it is known that the document was written post-factum, it could become controversial.' This document was ultimately discarded.
The special investigation team is also expected to investigate the situation of the Cabinet meeting before the martial law and suspicions of having aided former President Yoon's declaration of martial law.
Previously, on July 2, the special investigation team conducted the first summons investigation of former Prime Minister Han for more than 13 hours and 40 minutes. Then, on the 24th of the same month, the team searched former Prime Minister Han's residence.
