It will be decided as early as today whether Yeo In-hyeong, the head of the counterintelligence command, who is accused of operating a "major personnel arrest group" during martial law, will be arrested.
Lee Jin-woo, commander of the Capital Defense Command, was also arrested.

In the afternoon, the suspect's interrogation of the commander of the counterintelligence command will be held, right?
[Reporter]
Yes, since Yeo In-hyeong, commander of counterintelligence, is an incumbent soldier, the interrogation of the suspect before arrest will be held at 3:30 p.m. today at the Central Military Judicial Court.
Commander Yeo gave up the warrant examination, saying it was not the right thing to do for the people and their subordinates.
Commander Yeo sent counterintelligence troops and agents to the National Assembly and the Central Election Commission at the time of martial law,
He is accused of trying to arrest key political figures such as the chairman of the National Assembly
.
Prosecutors found circumstantial evidence that Commander Yeo even tried to deploy presidential security forces to block the National Assembly,
If a warrant is issued and the female commander is secured, the prosecution will focus on whether President Yoon Suk Yeol specifically ordered the operation of the arrest team and the deployment of NEC troops, and whether martial law was planned in advance.

The prosecution arrested the commander of the Capital Defense Command again?
[Reporter]
Yes, the investigation into radiation is also in full swing.
Lee Jin-woo, commander of the Capital Defense Command, was arrested yesterday on charges of putting a special military police lease belonging to the National Assembly immediately after the emergency martial law.
It has been a day since the seizure and search was conducted on the home of the commander of the water supply.
The "B-1" bunker managed by the Defense Acquisition Program Administration has been reportedly considered as a detention facility for key figures such as lawmakers.
Yesterday, the prosecution also summoned Brigadier General Cho Baek-in, the chief of staff of the defense commander, to conduct an investigation as a reference.
The prosecution will look into whether Lee, the commander of the defense command, joined by Yeo In-hyeong, the counterintelligence commander, and Kwak Jong-geun, the commander of the Special Warfare Command, sent troops under the direction of the president.
So far, I'm Kwon Jun-su from the Special Investigation Division of the Prosecution Service.
