On the 26th, Yoon Suk-yeol's side filed a complaint against officials from the Presidential Security Service and the police, alleging that they disclosed military secrets, specifically the president's currency phone call records.

Yoon's legal team announced that they would hold a press conference at 2 p.m. at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office in Seocho-gu, Seoul, to file charges against four senior officials from the security service and four police officers for violating the Presidential Archives Management Act and other allegations.

The legal team said, "The president's currency phone call records are classified as military Level 2 secrets and fall under presidential archives management law, meaning they cannot be submitted voluntarily. However, because the police and the security service copied the currency phone call list onto a hard disk and transferred it externally, we are filing a complaint."

The legal team continued, "Materials related to the currency phone cannot be secured even with a search warrant. The decision to disclose those materials can only be made by the head of the producing agency after going through a declassification process, but this procedure was omitted."
