The police top command was arrested at the same time, how will the investigation proceed in the future?

[Reporter]
Yes, the arrest warrants for Police Commissioner Jo Ji-ho and Seoul Police Commissioner Kim Bong-sik were issued around 10 p.m. last night.

The special police investigation team, which has secured the recruits of the top police command, is expected to continue further investigations into Commissioner Jo Ji-ho and Commissioner Kim Bong-sik today.

Commissioner Jo Ji-ho told the police that he had been ordered to arrest a lawmaker six times by President Yoon Suk Yeol at the time of the emergency martial law,

Also, he is accused of blocking lawmakers from entering the National Assembly during emergency martial law.

Unlike testimony at the National Assembly, the two commissioners met with President Yoon Suk Yeol and former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun at the president's safe house three hours before martial law was issued and received instructions on emergency martial law.

How is the police investigation into President Yoon Suk Yeol going?

[Reporter]
Yes, once arrested, the charges of the two commissioners are allegations of "engaging in an important mission of rebellion."

The police also see President Yoon Suk Yeol as a major suspect, and now the investigation is expected to target President Yoon directly.

The special police team said it will consider requesting President Yoon to attend as well as requesting an arrest warrant if necessary.The full-fledged investigation into President

Yoon is expected after both police and military officials have been investigated.

In the meantime, there is a possibility that the presidential office in Yongsan will launch an additional search and seizure or forced investigation into the official residence.

So far, I'm YTN Lim Ye-jin from the National Police Agency's National Investigation Headquarters.
