Special Counsel Raids Han Duck-soo’s Residences in Martial Law Inquiry

Seized documents plus surveillance footage may contradict his testimony, prompting the special counsel to seek an arrest warrant or schedule another interrogation.

Overview

  • Investigators carried out the first compulsory measure on July 24 by executing search warrants at Han’s Jongno and Samcheong-dong residences.
  • Search teams confiscated documents related to a backdated martial law decree and secured surveillance footage from the presidential office.
  • Evidence suggests Han Duck-soo signed the martial law decree after its imposition and ordered its destruction to conceal procedural irregularities.
  • Surveillance videos appear to contradict his February testimony that he was unaware of the decree until after it was lifted.
  • The special counsel is now reviewing the seized materials to determine whether to re-summon Han or request an arrest warrant.
