Special counsel says signs found of martial law preparations since early 2024
SEOUL, May 4 (Yonhap) -- A special counsel team said Monday it has found signs a military unit was making preparations for martial law operations in the first half of 2024, well before former President Yoon Suk Yeol's declaration in December of that year.
"(We) have confirmed signs that the Defense Counterintelligence Command prepared for martial law since the first half of 2024," assistant special counsel Kim Ji-mi said in a briefing.
The special counsel team is tasked with investigating allegations surrounding the ousted former president, including his failed bid to impose martial law, which have not been covered by previous special counsels.
