As President Yoon Suk Yeol did not respond to 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 have expanded their investigation into military officials.

The police investigation surrounding the president continues, what is the police position now?

[Reporter]
The police, who formed a joint investigation headquarters with the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, planned to conduct a joint investigation if President Yoon attends the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit today.

The president did not appear, but the police said they would wait a little longer.

He also declined to say whether he is considering a compulsory investigation plan, saying that he will discuss future countermeasures with the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

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 speeding up the investigation by charging military officials, right?

[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 summons was notified to the head of the Army's 2nd Armored Brigade and Bang Jung-hwan, the innovation planning officer of the Ministry of National Defense, who attended the second meeting.

The police believe that former commander Roh discussed at the meeting to set up a 60-member "second division and second investigation team" under the joint investigation headquarters of the martial law command.

The commander of the Gusamhoe Brigade, who was supposed to be the head of the second investigation, is suspected of trying to mobilize a tank unit in martial law.

The police also said they have secured statements from officials at the counterintelligence command that the prosecution and the National Intelligence Service went to the NEC on the day of martial law and were ordered to apply.

The prosecution countered that there was no such request, but the police are expected to convert Jeong Seong-woo, the first director of counterintelligence, who was reported to have received instructions from Yeo In-hyeong at the time, from a reference to a suspect and continue the investigation.
