The Special Investigation Team for Insurrection, which is questioning former President Yoon Suk-yeol, noted on the 28th that "the afternoon investigation will focus on the foreign intervention aspect and the National Security Council situation just before the declaration of martial law on December 3."
The Special Investigation Team for Insurrection announced in a notice sent to the press around 12:44 p.m., about 2 hours and 30 minutes after starting the investigation that "the morning investigation went well," and added that "once the investigation related to obstruction of arrest is completed, Director General Kim Jeong-guk (35th Judicial Research and Training Institute) and Director General Cho Jae-cheol (36th Judicial Research and Training Institute) will proceed with investigations related to the National Security Council situation and foreign intervention."
The allegations of foreign intervention against former President Yoon involved inducing attacks from North Korea and war by sending drones to Pyongyang and considering targeted strikes on waste balloons, aiming to create the conditions for a declaration of martial law, which requires "a national emergency, such as war or similar situations."
Additionally, the Special Investigation Team plans to investigate the National Security Council situation just before the declaration of martial law on December 3 last year. It appears that investigations will be conducted regarding allegations that former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo and other Cabinet members present at that meeting tacitly consented to or aided in declaring martial law.
The Special Investigation Team for Insurrection has been conducting face-to-face questioning of former President Yoon since 10:14 a.m. that morning. Reports indicated that during the morning investigation, Park Chang-hwan, head of the Serious Crime Investigation Division at the Korean National Police Agency, was among those interrogating former President Yoon regarding charges of obstruction of arrest and evidence destruction.
