South Korea's Defense Intelligence Agency chief Moon Sang Ho is suspected of sending troops from his command unit to the National Election Commission headquarters shortly after President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law.
South Korea's Defense Intelligence Agency chief, Major General Moon Sang Ho, was arrested on December 20 on charges of playing a key role in declaring martial law on the night of December 3.
South Korea's interagency investigation team said an arrest warrant has been issued for Major General Moon Sang Ho, on charges of participating in key missions related to the rebellion and abuse of power.
Mr. Moon Sang Ho is suspected of sending troops from his command unit to the National Election Commission headquarters in Gwacheon on the night of December 3, right after President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law.
He is also suspected of discussing the action plan for implementing martial law with Noh Sang Won - former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency - and two other subordinates at a fast food restaurant in Gyeonggi Province, two days before martial law was declared.
During a previous parliamentary questioning, the major general said he only learned about the martial law declaration through President Yoon Suk Yeol's televised speech.
