The police emergency martial law special investigation team has launched a search and seizure of the presidential office in Yongsan.
However, after a long confrontation with the presidential office's security service, the search and seizure eventually failed.
The police expressed regret, saying they had received only a small portion of the data.
I'll connect you to a reporter and find out more.
Reporter Bae Min-hyuk, the police raid on the presidential office in Yongsan was difficult?
[Reporter]
Yes, around 11:30 a.m. today, the police special investigation team visited the presidential office in Yongsan for a raid.
However, the special forces were unable to enter the building as the security services stopped them from entering, and the two sides continued the confrontation by discussing the access process.
The time when the search warrant could be executed was until sunset, but the confrontation continued until that time, and the search and seizure eventually failed.
Instead, the special police team continued to consult with the presidential office's security office on whether to conduct a search and seizure by receiving data at random.
Police expressed regret that they eventually received very little data from the Presidential Security Service.
The police said they would request additional data, but it is expected to review the data received today and then review countermeasures.
It was the first time in all investigative agencies since the emergency martial law incident that a special police team attempted to seize and search.
The search warrant confirmed that President Yoon Suk Yeol was listed as a suspect for rebellion.
The search and seizure sites were found to be the presidential office, the Cabinet Office, and the security office.
The police planned to seize and search the place where the cabinet meeting was held to determine the records of access at the time of the cabinet meeting, which deliberated on the declaration of emergency martial law, and secure the minutes of the meeting at the time.
The police also explained that they attempted to seize and search the Joint Chiefs of Staff building, where the martial law command situation room was set up, but failed to enter due to military reasons.
