Ex-FM Cho summoned for questioning in martial law probe
SEOUL, July 19 (Yonhap) -- Former Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yul was summoned for questioning Saturday by a special counsel team responsible for the investigation into former President Yoon Suk Yeol's attempt to impose martial law.
"We are questioning Cho," the team said in a brief statement released to the media.
Cho was summoned as a person of interest, not a suspect, for questioning regarding circumstances surrounding a Cabinet meeting held shortly before Yoon declared martial law on Dec. 3. He was among select Cabinet members who attended the meeting.
