Afterwards, the police confirmed that they handed over the list of 10 detectives from Yeongdeungpo Police Station, which has jurisdiction over the National Assembly, to the counterintelligence agency.

The prosecution believes that Woo Jong-soo, head of the National Investigation Headquarters, was involved in the process of the list being transferred.

However, the National Defense Agency says that Director Woo received a report on the request for support from the counterintelligence command and ordered him not to respond.

In particular, he emphasized that when Director Woo, who was on a business trip to Jeju Island, was reported by phone, the list of criminals had already been transferred and that he reprimanded the director in charge.

The prosecution analyzed the mobile phone of Woo Jong-soo and officials secured through search and seizure.

list is expected to focus on identifying the decision-making process and the nature of career support.
