Prosecutors Seize Cell Phones, including Woo Jong-soo, Director of National Investigation Headquarters

On the day of martial law, prosecutors investigating allegations that violent detectives participated in the "Arrest Group of Major Personnel" confiscated the mobile phones of those involved, including Woo Jong-soo, head of the National Investigation Headquarters.

The special investigation headquarters of the prosecution's emergency martial law seized the mobile phones of Director Woo, Investigation Planning Coordinator Yoon Seung-young, and Director Kang Sang-moon of Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, today (19th).

In addition, mobile phones of defense officials, including Park Heon-soo, head of the Defense Ministry's investigation division, were also secured.

The prosecution suspects that since the declaration of the emergency martial law on the night of the 3rd, the Defense Security Command has contacted the National Defense Headquarters for the so-called "arrest assistance" activities, and that the actual police have deployed personnel.

Earlier, the special prosecution summoned Kang Sang-moon, the chief of the Seoul Yeongdeungpo Police Station, Yoon Seung-young, the investigation planning coordinator of the National Assembly, and Jeon Chang-hoon, the investigation planning officer.

The counterintelligence agency is suspected of attempting to arrest key political figures, including National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik, Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung, and People's Power leader Han Dong-hoon at the time of the emergency martial law.
