The prosecution's special investigation headquarters, which is investigating the emergency martial law incident, will seek an arrest warrant for Lee Jin-woo, commander of the Capital Defense Command, by the end of today.

The commander was also instructed by Yoon Suk Yeol's president to "bring down lawmakers" during the martial law crisis.

Let's connect with the reporter and listen closely. Reporter Kim Chulhee!

A warrant request for this commander, when will it be made?

[Reporter]
Yes, the special prosecution will seek an arrest warrant for commander Lee as early as this morning.

The prosecution arrested commander Lee the day before when he refused to comply with the investigation, and called him a day later to conduct a high-intensity investigation.

During the investigation, he reportedly secured a statement from the then-president of the emergency martial law that he was " instructed to bring down lawmakers."

In addition, during the investigation of water defense officials, it was reported that commander Lee also confirmed a statement to the effect that he was aware of the operation before declaring martial law.

The prosecution is in a position to seek a warrant as soon as the investigation into the commander Lee has been conducted faithfully.

You're securing a major suspect one after another?

[Reporter]
Yes, so far, the prosecution has secured or attempted to secure three suspects.

Former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun has already been arrested and is under investigation every day.

Yeo In-hyeong, the former counterintelligence commander, was also arrested after giving up his review of the arrest warrant.

If Lee Jin-woo, the commander of the defense command, is found to be left with only Park An-soo, the commander of martial law, who was investigated yesterday, and Kwak Jong-geun, the commander of special forces, who was investigated the day before.

The investigation seems to be heading toward the president, and the attitude of former Minister Kim, who recently refused to make a statement, is considered a variable.

As the prosecution judged the president as the head of the civil war, the refusal of the key person's statement could affect it.

First of all, the prosecution will call former Minister Kim back at 2 p.m. today to investigate.

So far, I'm Kim Chul-hee from the Special Investigation Headquarters of the Prosecution Service.
