Police have sent Nosangwon, a former director of Military Intelligence, to the prosecution on charges of involvement in planning martial law.
On the 24th, the special investigation team of the National Investigation Headquarters noted that the former director was detained and sent to the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office on charges of insurrection.
Nosangwon, who served as the director of intelligence during the Park Geun-hye administration, is identified as a key figure in planning this martial law as a "secret line" to Kim Yonghyun, a former Ministry of National Defense Minister.
He is accused of conspiring with former and current military officials at a fast-food hamburger restaurant in Gyeonggi on the 1st, two days before the martial law, and on the 3rd, the day of.
During the meeting, police identified that the former director fabricated his private organization, "Investigation Team 2," consisting of about 60 people, with the intention to seize control of the National Election Commission.
Additionally, police secured a notebook from the former director's residence, which contained memos such as "inducing North Korean attacks at the Northern Limit Line (NLL)," and notes about "collection" and "assassination" regarding politicians and judges, while ongoing investigations are targeting foreign exchange crime allegations involving former Minister Kim and President Yoon Sukyeol.
The former director, after disgracefully retiring due to a sexual assault case in 2018, has been operating as a fortune teller from home.
Police have captured circumstances suggesting deep involvement of the former director, now a civilian, in this martial law planning, based on multiple calls between former Minister Kim and Nosangwon before and after martial law.
