[Anchor] Police Commissioner Jo Ji-ho and Seoul Metropolitan Police Commissioner Kim Bong-sik, who are suspected of deeply participating in the
"12.3 Insurrection," were arrested at the same time, saying, "There is a fear of eliminating evidence."
As the police special investigation team has secured the recruits of the two chiefs, the investigation targeting President Yoon Suk Yeol, who has been pointed out as the head of the civil war, is expected to accelerate.
Reporter Yoon Tae-in's report.
[Reporter]
Police Commissioner Jo Ji-ho, who completed the warrant review, appeared in handcuffs.
The reporters' questions poured out, but they were silent.
[Jo Jiho / National Police Agency Commissioner: (What did you do today?)]. Do you have anything to say to the people?.]Police Commissioner Jo Ji-ho and Seoul Metropolitan Police Commissioner Kim Bong-sik, who were accused of rebellion related to the declaration of emergency martial law in
'12.3', were eventually arrested.
It is the first time in police history that the first and second officers of the police have been arrested at the same time.
The court issued an arrest warrant for Cho and Kim, who are accused of engaging in "critical missions of rebellion," such as blocking lawmakers from entering the National Assembly at the time of martial law, saying, "There is a fear of eliminating evidence."
The fact that he had a meeting with President Yoon Suk Yeol at a safe house in Samcheong-dong, Seoul, three hours before the martial law was issued, was revealed belatedly, which seems to be a decisive blow.
Commissioner Cho previously stated in a police investigation that he tore up the A4 paper with the "main organs" given by President Yoon because he thought it was ridiculous, which the special team judged as an attempt to destroy evidence.
Cho ignored all six calls from the president to arrest lawmakers,
He also rejected a request from Yeo In-hyeong, commander of counterintelligence, to confirm the location of the 15 people who were to be arrested,
He argued to the effect that he tore up documents containing presidential instructions, such as
the ruling institution', and did not follow them.
[Roh Jung-hwan / Cho Ji-ho, Commissioner of the Commissioner's Office: It actually played a role in obstructing (the martial law). Therefore, we judge that if we go this far by precedent, (the crime of rebellion) will not be established..]
As the police special investigation team has secured the recruits of both the first and second officers of the police, the investigation targeting President Yoon Suk Yeol, who has been pointed out as the head of the civil war, is also expected to accelerate.
