Reference Message Network reported on May 27 according to Yonhap News Agency's report on May 27, South Korean police said on May 27 that they have taken measures to prohibit former Prime Minister Han De-joo and former Vice Premier and Minister of Economy and Finance Choi Sang-mu from leaving the country over suspicion of rebellion.
The report said that the Special Investigation Team for Martial Law of the National Investigation Bureau of the National Police Agency summoned Han De-joo, Choi Sang-mu, and former Minister of the Ministry of Public Administration and Security Lee Sang-min as suspects for investigation the day before yesterday. Lee Sang-min has been prohibited from leaving the country by the investigative department since last December.
It is understood that after analyzing the surveillance video footage of the State Council meeting room and the presidential office corridor recently obtained by the police, they are verifying whether the three persons made false confessions about accepting martial law-related documents. As the police have summoned the three persons and taken measures to prohibit them from leaving the country, it is expected that the related investigation will further accelerate.
The report said that Han De-joo stated at a congressional hearing on February 6 that he was unaware of the existence of the emergency martial law announcement document beforehand, and found a relevant note in his pocket after the State Council meeting to lift the martial law. Choi Sang-mu once said that he received a note from someone, but he did not look at it. Lee Sang-min, as a witness at the impeachment trial of Yoon Suk-yeol on February 11, stated that although he saw a few notes on the table in the presidential office, which had information such as "fire station", "power off", "water off", he denied receiving an order to cut off water and electricity in the media office building.
