"Judge Lee Jae-myung, who was acquitted in the first trial, is also subject to arrest"...Supreme Court "significant infringement of jurisdiction"

It was revealed that there were attempts to arrest major politicians and former Supreme Court justices when President Yoon Suk Yeol declared emergency martial law.

However, it was found that even the incumbent judge who was acquitted in the first trial of perjury teacher charges against Lee Jae-myung of the Democratic Party was the subject of arrest.

I'll connect you to a reporter for more information.

Reporter Lim Ye-jin, the judge of the Seoul Central District Court is included in the martial law arrest list, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, Judge Kim Dong-hyun of the 33rd Division of the Criminal Agreement of the Seoul Central District Court was among the 10 people ordered to arrest at the time of the declaration of the emergency martial law, according to Cho Ji-ho, the police chief.

On the 25th of last month, Lee Jae-myung of the Democratic Party of Korea, who is accused of perjury, was acquitted in the first trial.

He is also in charge of hearing suspicions about Daejang-dong and Baekhyeon-dong, which are Lee's key judicial risks.

Soon after martial law was declared, Yeo In-hyeong, commander of the Defense Security Command, asked Commissioner Jo Ji-ho to track the location of about 15 people on the condition of arrest.

In addition to former Supreme Court Chief Justice Kim Myung-soo and former Supreme Court Justice Kwon Soon-il, incumbent Judge Kim was also included on the tracking list.

When Commissioner Cho asked again who Kim Dong-hyun was because he had an unfamiliar name,
Commander
is said to have answered clearly as a judge who acquitted CEO Lee of perjury in the first trial.

Commissioner Cho said he confessed this fact in the investigation of the police special investigation team.

Following the National Assembly and the Central Election Commission's invasion, attempts to arrest incumbent judges have been revealed, raising suspicions that not only the legislature but also the judiciary were trying to neutralize them.

I heard the Supreme Court took a stand on this.

[Reporter]
Yes, if it is true that the Supreme Court tried to arrest the incumbent judge who acquitted Lee Jae-myung this morning,

said it was a direct and serious violation of the jurisdiction and that serious concerns could not be avoided.

He then criticized that arresting an incumbent judge after declaring martial law should never occur in a rule of law.

He emphasized that we should quickly find out whether what was reported is true and that strict legal responsibility should be followed.

Earlier, Chun Dae-yup, the head of the National Court Administration, appeared at the National Assembly's Legislative and Judiciary Committee on the 6th and said that the inclusion of former Chief Justice Kim Myung-soo and others in the list of emergency martial law arrests was an inappropriate move that does not make sense.
