The police are planning to apply for arrest warrants for the chiefs who were arrested earlier today?
[Reporter]
Yes.
The special police investigation team explained that it plans to apply for arrest warrants for Police Commissioner Jo Ji-ho and Seoul Commissioner Kim Bong-sik today.
Earlier, the police special investigation team arrested them early yesterday (11th), and the suspect must decide whether to request an arrest warrant within 48 hours.
In a recent summons, the two commissioners visited Yoon Suk Yeol's presidential safe house three hours before the emergency martial law was declared and ordered to be controlled by martial law forces, including the National Assembly, and were ordered to arrest key lawmakers after martial law was imposed.
Commissioner Cho stated that he first learned of the emergency martial law through the media at the National Assembly, and that he stayed at the National Police Agency for about four hours after being contacted by the presidential office before martial law, which contradicts this.
However, it is known that Commissioner Cho did not follow all the instructions because they were considered unfair.
As the key is whether President Yoon actually followed his instructions, the investigation is expected to continue.

The police raid on the presidential office yesterday ended with a voluntary submission of data, but they're also considering further attempts?
[Reporter]
Yes, the police emergency martial law special investigation team plans to decide whether to conduct an additional forced investigation into the presidential office in Yongsan through a meeting.
Yesterday, the presidential office planned to seize and search the grounds to collect data such as access records and minutes before and after the declaration of martial law.
However, the presidential security office refused to enter, so the data was received in the form of voluntary submission after the execution time of the warrant until sunset.
As the police's position is that they were able to secure only a small amount of data here, they will consider whether to launch an additional search and seizure today.
In addition, the police will hold a meeting of the Joint Investigation Headquarters at 3 p.m. with the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the Ministry of National Defense.
At today's working-level meeting, he explained that he will discuss in detail how to investigate the emergency martial law situation.
So far, I'm YTN's facial expression Woo in front of the National Police Agency's National Investigation Headquarters.
