He's a key figure in the suspicion of "scrupulous secret" who is accused of leading the hamburger meeting and planning the civil war.
How is the investigation into former intelligence commander Roh Sang-won going?
[Reporter]
Yes, the police secured the notebook at the former intelligence commander Roh's home near the restaurant in Ansan, Gyeonggi Province, where the hamburger meeting was held.
The notebook reportedly stated plans to deploy military units, including which units and how to deploy them to the National Assembly and the National Election Commission after the emergency martial law was declared.
Based on this notebook, the police are expected to question whether former commander Roh was deeply involved in the overall martial law incident.
In particular, one of the participants in the hamburger meeting, an incumbent colonel in the intelligence agency, was quoted as saying that Roh also ordered the arrest of Roh Tae-ak, the head of the Central Election Commission.
The police also said they investigated all 12 members of the State Council, including those who attended the "Ceremony State Council," except President Yoon Suk Yeol, former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun, and Unification Minister Kim Young-ho.
We are also considering additional investigations into some defendants, such as acting President Han Deok-soo and former Minister of Public Administration and Security Lee Sang-min.
Park Jong-joon, the head of the Presidential Security Service, was also questioned behind closed doors as a reference.
Director Park has a history of working with former intelligence commander Roh Sang-won in the Park Geun Hye government for presidential security, but it has been found that he has not contacted him since 2015.
