A special counsel team said Monday it has found signs a military unit was making preparations for martial law in the first half of 2024, well before former President Yoon Suk Yeol's declaration in December of that year.
Special counsel Kwon Chang-young's team updated reporters on its investigation into allegations surrounding the ousted former president, including his failed martial law bid, which have not been fully covered by previous special counsels.
"(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, citing the team's investigation of officials from the military unit.
She did not elaborate on specific preparations made by the unit.
