Prosecutors Seizure Police National Investigation Headquarters Related to Arrest

Prosecutors investigating allegations that violent detectives participated in the "major figure arrest group" on the day of martial law have launched a forced investigation into the police's National Investigation Headquarters.

The special investigation headquarters of the prosecution's emergency martial law is conducting a search and seizure today (19th) against the National Police Agency's investigation and planning coordinator's office.

The prosecution suspects that since the declaration of the emergency martial law on the night of the 3rd, the Defense Security Command has contacted the National Defense Headquarters for what it calls "arrest assistance" activities, and that the actual police have deployed personnel.

Earlier, the prosecution's special investigation team called in officials from the Yeongdeungpo Police Station in Seoul, Yoon Seung-young, the investigation planning coordinator of the National Assembly, and Jeon Chang-hoon, the investigation planning officer, to continue the investigation.

The counterintelligence agency reportedly attempted to arrest key political figures, including National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik, Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung, and People's Power leader Han Dong-hoon during the emergency martial law.
