"Pull out"

President Yoon Suk Yeol claims that December 3 martial law was a warning to the public about the national crisis and allowed entry to the National Assembly.

But key figures involved in the martial law operation said they had consistently been told by the president to "pull it out."It is a testimony that President

Yoon called and mentioned the quorum of the decision, and even instructed four people to come out one by one.

" even by shooting"
Contrary to President Yoon's saying not to be armed
, guns and axes appeared in the actual instructions.

Martial law vehicles used in the National Assembly contained live ammunition,
The arrest team that went to the
Central Election Commission prepared a baseball bat, an awl, a mask and rope.

"You can declare 2 or 3 times"
Prosecutors believe that even after the resolution of the
National Assembly to lift martial law, President Yoon did not give up his attempt to take control of the National Assembly.

At 1:03 a.m. on the 4th, after the lifting was approved, he continued to order arrest, saying, "Even if it is lifted, martial law can be declared twice or three times."

"Creating a separate emergency legislative body"

President Yoon is also accused of trying to neutralize the existing National Assembly and form a new legislature.

It was also revealed that Choi Sang-mok, the deputy prime minister at the time, was told to cut off funds related to the National Assembly and draw up a budget related to the emergency legislative body.Most of the key figures in the emergency martial law, such as

army generals and police command, have already been put on trial,
Within 43 days of the
emergency martial law, the investigation into President Yoon, the peak, has also begun in earnest.
