Former Defense Minister Kim Kwan-jin was questioned by prosecutors on Tuesday over allegations that he tried to undermine the ministry's internal probe into suspected political interference by the military's cyber command ahead of the 2012 presidential election.
Kim appeared at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office in the morning.
"I will explain myself to the prosecution," he told reporters.
He is accused of pressuring his ministry's officials into toning down and covering up an internal probe into a massive political maneuver carried out by the military's cyber command aimed at influencing public opinion in favor of the then-ruling party presidential candidate, Park Geun-hye.
