After botched martial law bid, what do we know about investigations faced by South Korean President Yoon?
Others involved in the case include the chiefs of the Capital Defence Command, the army’s Special Warfare Command and the Defence Counterintelligence Command, as well as several other military generals and senior police officials, including the national and Seoul police chiefs, who are accused of playing a role in the martial law plan.
Prosecutors summoned Kim for questioning for a third time on Monday since arresting him a day before, and carried out raids of the Defence Counterintelligence Command’s headquarters and offices nationwide, according to the Yonhap news agency. It consists of some 50 prosecutors and investigators, and about a dozen military prosecutors have also been drafted in, Yonhap said.
Amid growing concerns about signs of rivalry among probing agencies and calls for concerted efforts to prevent overlaps and boost effectiveness, a joint investigation team was launched on Wednesday between police, the CIO and the defence ministry.
