In connection with the Yoon Suk Yeol Presidential Investigation, the Cooperation Agency asked you to attend today, right?
[Reporter]
Yes, earlier today, the Joint Chiefs of Staff was going to deliver a request for attendance to President Yoon, stating that he should be present at the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit by 10 a.m.
Attempts to deliver directly to the
presidential office and the official residence, as well as mail delivery, failed due to undelivery and refusal to receive them.President
Yoon's side also drew the line that it is not today in response to the request for attendance in the joint edition.
Even if the president did not receive the mail, it can be said that he recognized it and answered it.
It was decided that the first request for attendance was not accepted.
The government is also reviewing the second request for attendance of President Yoon, and plans to decide after 10 a.m. today, which was the original attendance time.There is also an investigation of people around President
to prove President Yoon's direct instructions.
Yesterday, the National Police Agency launched a search and seizure of the presidential office to secure server data related to the security phone of National Police Agency Commissioner Jo Ji-ho.
The security service did not allow investigators to enter the presidential office, forcing them to return empty-handed.
Commissioner Cho was confirmed to have spoken to President Yoon Suk Yeol six times on a security phone at the time of martial law,
The
Security Department said today it would let you know if it would cooperate with the raid.

Former intelligence commander Roh Sang-won, who is accused of plotting emergency martial law in advance, is under arrest today?
[Reporter]
Yes, former commander Roh Sang-won is known to be a close aide to former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun, who served as the intelligence commander during the Park Geun Hye regime.
In particular, he is suspected of being a "behind-the-scenes planner" who drafted a martial law declaration and led the martial law army's control of the election committee.
On the 1st, two days before the declaration of the emergency martial law, it was revealed that Moon Sang-ho, the intelligence commander, and others were called to a fast food restaurant in Ansan, Gyeonggi-do to plot martial law in advance.
As a result of
, the police applied for an arrest warrant for former commander Roh, and the suspect will be interrogated before his arrest at the Central District Court in Seoul at 3 p.m. today.If an arrest warrant is issued for former commander Roh
, the investigation into when and how martial law was simulated is also expected to gain momentum.
In this regard, the police also tried to arrest Commander Moon Sang-ho, who is accused of conspiring to commit martial law, but he went back to nothing due to the prosecution's disapproval.Commander
is also a key figure to understand the whole story of the incident, so chances are high that he will try to secure additional recruits.
