According to a statement obtained by the police special investigation team to an official of the security service, President Yoon asked at a luncheon with the security service chiefs on the 10th, five days before the execution of the second arrest warrant, "Can't you shoot (when the arrest warrant is executed)."
In response, Kim Sung-hoon, the deputy head of the bodyguard, who is considered a "hardliner," was found to have answered, "Yes, I see."
It has also been confirmed that Lee Kwang-woo, the head of the security headquarters, who is also a hardliner, ordered two machine guns and 80 live bullets to be taken out of the armory and moved into the presidential residence in preparation for the execution of the warrant.
Director Lee is said to have ordered two machine guns, MP7, and 80 live bullets, to be transferred from the presidential armory to the family security department in the residence between the 10th and 12th.
Director Lee was also found to have ordered bodyguards working at the residence one to two days before the execution of the arrest warrant to "run out with a machine gun if the second gate is breached."
The second gate means the gate in front of the official residence where President Yoon stays.
However, on the 15th, the day of the execution of the arrest warrant, most of the security officials did not follow the instructions of the head of the headquarters, so the use of firearms was not carried out.
The special investigation team suspects that Director Lee may have moved firearms and live ammunition from the armory under President Yoon's direction.
He also booked President Yoon on charges of obstructing the execution of special public affairs, believing that there was an order from President Yoon, the "peak" in the process of preventing the execution of the warrant.
