The Joint Investigation Headquarters, which is investigating the ‘12·3 Emergency Martial Law Incident,’ conducted a search and seizure at the Republic of Korea Army Counterintelligence Command on the 31st.


On the same day, the Joint Headquarters sent investigative personnel to the Counterintelligence Command to secure materials related to the emergency martial law, it announced.


The Counterintelligence Command is suspected of attempting to arrest political figures such as Han Dong-hoon, leader of the People Power Party, and Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, during the emergency martial law, as well as trying to seize control of the National Election Commission.


The Joint Headquarters believes that President Yoon Seok-yeol conspired in advance with Counterintelligence Commander Yeo In-hyung regarding the emergency martial law. Therefore, through this search and seizure, they plan to verify whether there are any materials within the Counterintelligence Command indicating that these individuals conspired the martial law.



Meanwhile, after President Yoon refused to appear three times upon summons, the day before, the Joint Headquarters requested an arrest warrant from the Seoul Western District Court on charges of rebellion leader and abuse of authority. The court issued the warrant on the morning of the same day. This is the first time in constitutional history that an arrest warrant has been issued for a sitting president.
