Former People's Power Floor Leader Choo Kyung-ho was questioned by the police yesterday, right?
[Reporter]
Yes, the special police team called Choo Kyung-ho, former floor leader of People's Power, as a suspect yesterday evening.
The summons failed once before and he responded to the second request for attendance.
On the day of the declaration of the emergency martial law, former floor leader Choo held an emergency meeting of lawmakers at the People's Power Party, raising suspicions that he intentionally interfered with the vote to lift martial law.
At that time, former floor leader Choo asked National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik to postpone the vote on lifting martial law, but the Democratic Party of Korea filed a complaint with the police on the 6th against former floor leader Choo on charges of accomplice.
Former floor leader Choo is known to have talked to President Yoon on the phone after the martial law was declared, and the police have also obtained a communication warrant for Choo's mobile phone and are analyzing the details of the call.
In the midst of this, attention is also being paid to whether Chung Jin-suk, the presidential chief of staff, and Shin Won-sik, the chief of the National Security Office, will appear before the police tomorrow.
The two submitted a statement of reasons for not attending the plenary session of the National Assembly Steering Committee tomorrow:
The reason is that the investigative agency was summoned, so it seems that they are coordinating the schedule with the police.
So far, I'm YTN Lim Ye-jin from the National Police Agency's National Investigation Headquarters.
