The Special Prosecutor’s Office Investigation Headquarters, which is investigating the December 3 emergency, said it has identified President Yoon Suk Yeol as a suspect.

The prosecutor emphasized that they would conduct strict investigations regardless of high or low status, and that they should trust and watch.

Park Se-hyun, head of the Special Investigation Department, held a press conference two days after the establishment of the Prosecutor’s Special Investigation Headquarters and said he had designated President Yoon as a suspect in accordance with procedure after receiving complaints and charges related to President Yoon Suk Yeol.

He also stressed to reporters who asked about the possibility of a forced investigation into President Yoon, saying, “We will strictly investigate until the end, regardless of the high and low status.”

(Park Se-hyun / Special Investigation Headquarters: Regardless of the status, the investigation is conducted strictly in accordance with the laws and principles, so please trust and watch.)

Park also made it clear that he will investigate both the allegation of rebellion and the allegation of abuse of power in relation to the scope of the investigation.

While some point out that the prosecutor has no direct right to investigate the alleged rebellion,
If it is directly related to the crime of abuse of power, prosecutors can investigate
they can also investigate the accusation of rebellion. Director

Park expressed confidence in the emergency incident, saying that reporters and the public can easily judge whether abuse of authority and rebellion can be interpreted as irrelevant.

Although the Prosecutor’s Office has expressed its willingness to actively investigate the martial law emergency, attention is focused on whether the public will be able to achieve understandable results in the investigation of President Yoon Suk Yeol, who served as head of the Prosecutor’s Office in the past. .
