On Thursday morning, ex-Justice Minister Cho Kuk appeared before the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office for a second round of questioning. He reportedly refused to open up, just as he had the first time on Nob. 14.

At the time, Cho denied all charges against him, saying he would “reveal the truth in court” once prosecutors indict him. The former justice minister faces corruption charges involving his family and charges of abuse of power.

He did not address reporters waiting at the prosecutors’ office.
