First, in the afternoon, the suspect's interrogation before the arrest of the commander of the counterintelligence command is 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 about the people and their subordinates.
Commander Yeo is accused of sending counterintelligence troops and agents to the National Assembly and the Central Election Commission during martial law, and trying to arrest key political figures such as the National Assembly Speaker.
Prosecutors found circumstantial evidence that Commander Yeo even tried to deploy presidential security forces to block the National Assembly,
The prosecution plans to focus on whether President Yoon Suk Yeol specifically ordered the operation of the arrest team and the deployment of NEC troops, and whether he planned martial law in advance, once the ∀ is secured.

Yes, the investigation into radiation is also expected to speed up.
Lee Jin-woo, commander of the Capital Defense Command, was arrested last evening.
It has been a day since the seizure and search of the home of the commander of the water defense unit and Lee.
The commander is said to have obtained an arrest warrant for failing to respond to the prosecution's investigation without justifiable reasons, citing the destruction of evidence.
The prosecution is planning to start a full-fledged investigation into the imprisoned commander.
Immediately after the emergency martial law, he is accused of putting a special military police lease belonging to the National Assembly.
The "B-1" bunker, managed by the Defense Acquisition Program Administration, was reportedly considered as a detention facility for key people such as lawmakers.
The prosecution will investigate whether the commander Lee, along with Yeo In-hyeong, the counterintelligence commander, sent troops under the direction of President Yoon.
