The prosecution's special investigation headquarters announced today (27th) that it will arrest and indict former Minister Kim Yong-hyun on charges of engaging in important missions of civil war and abusing his authority.

It is the first case of being put on trial on charges of civil war since the martial law incident.

Former Minister Kim, who directly proposed to President Yoon to declare an emergency martial law, is suspected of being involved in the use of troops from the National Assembly and the NEC and the operation of arrest groups targeting politicians.

Former Minister Kim was arrested and arrested on the 8th, five days after martial law, after voluntarily attending the prosecution for questioning.

Former Minister Kim held a press conference yesterday (26th) and protested that declaring martial law was an illegal investigation, saying it was a unique act of governance by the president.
