How far have you come to the police investigation?
[Reporter]
The police have been focusing on analyzing related confiscations since they secured the whereabouts of the leadership, including Police Commissioner Jo Ji-ho and Seoul Police Commissioner Kim Bong-sik on the 11th.
The targets include former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun's secret phone, related servers, and Commissioner Cho's secret phone.
Police are also continuing to check the location of Cho's phone server.
Earlier, during the police investigation, Cho reportedly stated that former Minister Kim made a phone call to announce the declaration of emergency martial law on President Yoon's mobile phone, and that after the martial law was declared, President Yoon called six times and ordered the lawmakers to be arrested.
As each non-phonic phone was used in the process, police believe that the phone usage record is the main evidence to identify the pre-mocking process and progress of the martial law declaration.
In this regard, police are also analyzing CCTVs related to the safe house meeting three hours before martial law, and are continuing investigations into military officials, such as investigating Yoon Tae-hyun, commander of the 2nd Special Forces, as a reference in connection with the dispatch of parliamentary troops at the time of martial law.
State Council members who attended the Cabinet meeting at the time are also attending.
An investigation into acting president Han Deok-soo is also expected to take place soon.
