The second special prosecutor team, led by Kwon Chang-young, is conducting raids on the Supreme Prosecutors' Office and the Seoul High Court in connection with allegations against former Prosecutor General Shin Woo-jung regarding important duties related to insurrection.
On the afternoon of August 13, the special prosecutor's office announced, "We are conducting searches at the Supreme Prosecutors' Office, Seoul High Court, Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, and Cheongju District Prosecutors' Office related to allegations against former Prosecutor General Shin and former Planning and Coordination Bureau Chief Jeon Mu-gon regarding insurrection duties."
The raids include the PCs of researchers at the Supreme Prosecutors' Office and electronic data created or modified by the Information and Communications Division during the emergency martial law period on December 3.
Previously, on August 6, the special prosecutor's office conducted a search of the Information and Communications Division to gather evidence against Shin and Jeon.
Shin is accused of considering a plan to dispatch prosecutors to the Joint Investigation Headquarters of the Martial Law Command following the declaration of martial law on December 3, 2024, under the direction of former Justice Minister Park Sung-jae.
Jeon is alleged to have assisted Shin in drafting documents regarding the jurisdiction of trials under martial law and participating in discussions about trial jurisdiction.
Meanwhile, the special prosecutor's office sought arrest warrants for Shin and Jeon, but the court rejected the requests. The special prosecutor's office is fully committed to conducting a thorough investigation to substantiate the allegations.
