The prosecution's special investigation headquarters, which is investigating the emergency martial law incident, has started to secure the whereabouts of Special Forces Commander Kwak Jong-geun.
We will also seek an arrest warrant for Lee Jin-woo, commander of the Capital Defense Command, within today, and the investigation is approaching its peak.

The special case requested an arrest warrant for Commander Kwak.
[Reporter]
Yes, the special prosecution requested an arrest warrant for Commander Kwak at around 10 a.m.Commander
Kwak was involved in the deployment of the 707 Special Task Force, also known as the 'decapitation unit', to the National Assembly at the time of the declaration of the emergency martial law.Commander
was investigated by the special prosecution on the 9th and 13th, and the process of securing recruits began in two days.
The special investigation will also seek an arrest warrant for Lee Jin-woo, commander of the water defense command, within today.
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.
In the process, he reportedly secured a statement from the president at the time of the emergency martial law that he had been " instructed to bring down lawmakers."

You're securing a major suspect one after another?
[Reporter]
Yes, so far, the prosecution has secured or attempted to secure four 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.
Afterwards, if Lee Jin-woo, commander of the defense command, and Kwak Jong-geun, commander of the special forces command, are secured, only Park An-soo, commander of martial law, who was investigated as a suspect yesterday.
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.
