At the sentencing hearing held on the 13th before the 25th criminal division of the Seoul Central District Court, presided over by Jee Kui-youn, the special counsel investigating the insurrection case asked the court to sentence Yoon Seung-young, the Korean National Police Agency National Office of Investigation (NOI) investigation planning and coordination officer who is charged with engaging in important duties related to insurrection, to 10 years in prison.
According to prosecutors, the former coordination officer Yoon is accused of abusing the status and authority of the investigation planning and coordination officer to cooperate with a request from the Counterintelligence Command to illegally arrest political figures, including the National Assembly speaker—an institution established by the Constitution—and the leaders of the ruling and opposition parties, by taking part in organizing 104 police officers as support personnel for the Counterintelligence Command.
