As President Yoon Suk Yeol refused to comply with the second request for attendance by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, the police's plan to investigate the president with the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit today is likely to be virtually eliminated.
In the midst of this, the police are calling in the commander of the Gusamhoe Brigade, who was scheduled to head the investigation 2nd Group, an unofficial organization of the martial law command, as a participant in the so-called hamburger meeting.

The police investigation surrounding the president continues, what is the position of the police now?
[Reporter]
The police planned to investigate the president with the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit when President Yoon attended today.
Although the president has not made an appearance, the police say they will wait a little longer.
As previously stated, he said he would discuss future countermeasures with the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, and declined to say whether he was considering a forced investigation plan.
The police have been focusing all their efforts on investigating President Yoon's alleged rebellion and abuse of authority.
After securing the president's general mobile phone communication details, the presidential secretariat and the security office asked the presidential office and the security office to preserve the data of the security phone that Cho Ji-ho, the police chief at the time of the emergency martial law, talked to President Yoon.
This is an alternative to the two-time server seizure and search failed due to the non-cooperation of the security service.
The police also summoned and investigated Park Jong-joon, the chief of security, and two officials from the president's secretariat, and asked Choo Kyung-ho, the former floor leader of People's Power, to attend for the second time tomorrow (26th).
The investigation was also completed on 10 out of 12 people who attended or attended the Cabinet meeting just before the declaration of martial law, and all others except President Yoon and former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun, who the prosecution secured recruits, were investigated.
In the meantime, as the president does not cooperate with the investigation, the police are expected to consider the direction of the investigation in the future.

The police are calling in the 2nd Armored Brigade Commander of the 93rd Army today to investigate?
[Reporter]
Yes, the police booked all those involved in the so-called "hamburger restaurant meeting" that took place twice as suspects.
On the 3rd, the day of martial law's declaration, the head of the Gusamhoe Brigade, who attended the second meeting, has been called as a suspect since the morning.The commander of the
brigade was supposed to be the head of the 'Second Investigation Team', an informal organization of about 60 people that Roh Sang-won, the former intelligence commander, tried to set up under the joint investigation headquarters of the martial law command.The commander of the
brigade is accused of plotting martial law with former commander Roh and others.
There were also suspicions that he might have left his unit after declaring martial law and tried to mobilize a tank unit by waiting at the office of the 100th Brigade in Pangyo.
The police have also notified Bang Jung-hwan, an innovation planning officer at the Ministry of National Defense, who attended the "second hamburger meeting" with the brigade leader Koo.
He was also the deputy head of the investigation team 2.
The police, who booked all the participants in the so-called "hamburger meeting," are speeding up their investigation into the pre-mock situation of martial law.
