,
, “The second comprehensive special prosecutor team, led by Kwon Chang-young, launched to investigate remaining suspicions after the so-called ‘Three Major Special Prosecutions’ (Rebellion, Kim Geon-hee, and Fallen Marines), has initiated a forced investigation into former Chief Prosecutor Sim Woo-jung’s alleged involvement in martial law.”,
,
, ‘According to the legal community on the 23rd, the special prosecutor team is conducting a search and seizure of the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office regarding former Prosecutor General Sim’s allegations of engaging in important rebellion-related duties and abuse of authority.’,
,
, ‘Former Chief Prosecutor Sim is accused of considering the dispatch of prosecutors to the Joint Martial Law Investigation Headquarters on the orders of former Justice Minister Park Seong-jae during the proclamation of the December 3 Martial Law.’,
,
, “It is alleged that on the day martial law was proclaimed, former Minister Park attended a Cabinet meeting at the presidential office and then returned to the Ministry of Justice to convene a meeting with senior officials, including ten directors and division heads, during which he instructed the prosecution bureau to ‘consider dispatching prosecutors to the joint investigation headquarters.'”,
,
, ‘It is reported that former Minister Park spoke with former Prosecutor General Sim three times between approximately 11 PM on December 3rd of last year and early the next day, which has raised suspicions that former Minister Park might have also ordered Sim to dispatch prosecutors.’,
,
, “Additionally, it is reported that the search and seizure included materials related to the suspicion of former Prosecutor General Sim’s ‘waiver of immediate appeal’.”,
,
, ‘Former President Yoon Seok-yeol, who was indicted for leading a rebellion, filed for a cancellation of the detention, arguing that the prosecution’s indictment was made after the expiration of the detention period, which was accepted by the court.’,
,
, ‘The prosecution team believed it necessary to immediately appeal to seek a higher court’s decision. However, former Prosecutor General Sim, after discussions in the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office, directed the release of former President Yoon instead of pursuing an immediate appeal.’,
,
, ‘Previously, the special prosecution team led by Cho Eun-seok, who investigated the case, called former Prosecutor General Sim as a suspect for questioning last September. However, the case was handed over to the police without reaching a conclusion by the end of their activities.’,
,
, ‘The special prosecutor team plans to analyze the materials obtained and summon former Prosecutor General Sim to investigate his conversations with former Minister Park during the martial law and the decision-making process behind the waiver of immediate appeal.’,
