Yes, the police are also investigating military officials regarding emergency martial law.

The police immediately arrested Moon Sang-ho and Roh Sang-won yesterday.Commander

is suspected of ordering the National Election Commission to send troops to the National Election Commission in Gwacheon City, Gyeonggi Province, after declaring martial law.

As troops arrived two minutes after the declaration of martial law at the time, the police are mindful of the possibility that Commander Moon knew or planned martial law in advance.

In addition, former commander Roh is suspected of drafting a decree as the intelligence commander during the Park Geun Hye regime.

The Democratic Party of Korea also claimed that former commander Roh was seen as a key figure in planning the rebellion as a secret election for former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun.

Police also said more than 1,500 soldiers were mobilized for the emergency martial law incident, including not only executives but also ordinary soldiers,
As it is the result of an investigation of 43 active soldiers
, there is a possibility that the size of the input will increase if the investigation proceeds further in the future.

Police also said they have so far investigated seven out of 11 members of the State Council who attended a Cabinet meeting held before the declaration of emergency martial law.

Justice Minister Park Sung-jae, Health and Welfare Minister Cho Kyu-hong, and Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Minister Song Mi-ryeong were found to have been investigated as witnesses.

As there are some members of the State Council, including Prime Minister Han Deok-soo, who have not yet been investigated by the police, police investigations are expected to continue.
