South Korea’s impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol skipped questioning by a joint investigation team on Wednesday, according to local media reports, increasing the risk of his arrest.

Yoon didn’t appear for a scheduled 10 a.m. questioning by the joint team, which consists of the defense ministry, police and an anti-corruption investigative body, according to SBS. The investigators will consider sending a second summons, the broadcaster reported.
