The police applied for an arrest warrant for former intelligence commander Roh Sang-won?
[Reporter]
Yes, the police applied for an arrest warrant for former intelligence commander Roh Sang-won.It is said that former commander Roh
confirmed the situation in which he discussed martial law in advance with former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun and intelligence officials.Former commander Roh
is suspected of being a key figure in planning the civil war, including drafting a decree and being involved in the deployment of intelligence agents to the NEC immediately after martial law.
In this regard, the police have also secured statements from the intelligence officer colonel involved in mobilizing troops before urgently arresting former commander Roh and intelligence commander Moon Sang-ho on the 15th.
On top of that, former commander Roh believes that he may destroy evidence and has set out to secure new recruits.
Earlier, the prosecution rejected the emergency arrest of Commander Moon, an incumbent soldier, saying that the military has jurisdiction, but the police are speeding up the case by transferring the case to the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit to expedite the processing of recruits.
