After the emergency martial law, the prosecution's judgment was very different from the explanation that President Yoon Suk Yeol gave to the people.President

Yoon claimed that emergency martial law exercised power within the framework of the Constitution, but prosecutors said that President Yoon tried to create a separate emergency legislative body after neutralizing the National Assembly, adding that it was a "riot for the purpose of disorderly affairs of the state constitution," a civil war.

On the 12th, President Yoon said in his second public statement that he had borrowed the form of martial law to overcome the crisis, stressing that only a small number of troops had been deployed.

However, the prosecution determined that a number of armed martial law troops and police were mobilized.

In fact, 1,605 soldiers and 3,144 police officers were deployed at the time of martial law.President Yoon

also said he did not try to paralyze the function of the National Assembly, but

Prosecutors say they have even confirmed their intention to create a separate "emergency legislative body" after neutralizing the National Assembly.

As revealed by YTN coverage, it was also revealed that 112 special forces were dispatched to the scene.

In addition, contrary to President Yoon's explanation that the deployment of NEC troops was for the purpose of checking the system, the prosecution stated in the indictment that there was an intention to take control.President

Yoon argued that the declaration of emergency martial law was an exercise of authority within the framework of the Constitution, but the prosecution concluded that it was a riot for the purpose of national constitution, citing the case of Chun Doo-hwan in 1996.
