Seoul: Former South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yul was called in for questioning over a probe into former President Yoon Suk Yeol's short-lived martial law decree on December 3, Yonhap News reported Saturday. The special counsel team in charge of the investigation stated that it is "questioning Cho."

According to Anadolu Agency, the former minister was not summoned as a suspect but as a person of interest concerning a Cabinet meeting held shortly before Yoon declared martial law. Cho was one of the select Cabinet members who attended the meeting.

One of the charges against Yoon involved the alleged violation of the rights of Cabinet members by inviting only certain individuals to the meeting before issuing his martial law decree.
