[속보] 종합특검 “윤석열, 2023년 11월경부터 비상계엄 준비한 사실 확인” - [MBC 뉴스속보] MBC뉴스 2026년 06월 01일

The second comprehensive special prosecutor team led by Kwon Chang-young, which is investigating remaining allegations following the third special prosecutor, announced that it has confirmed that former President Yoon Suk-youl had been preparing to declare a state of emergency since around November 2023. During a regular briefing on the 1st, Special Prosecutor Kim Ji-mi stated, "Through the investigation of former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Kim Myong-soo, we confirmed that preparations for a state of emergency had already been underway since around November 2023, and that at the time of the martial law, multiple working-level officials advised that there were problems with declaring martial law and deploying troops to the National Assembly." It is reported that the special prosecutor team, while questioning former Chairman Kim on the 27th of last month as a suspect on charges including engaging in important duties related to insurrection, secured a statement to the effect that "during a meeting at the presidential residence on November 29, 2023, former President Yoon asked, 'Can you do whatever I order?'" Statements have also been secured indicating that when former Chairman Kim responded with a general statement to the effect that he would "obey if it were a legitimate order," former President Yoon became enraged and made violent remarks such as, "Bring a gun and shoot me in the head." The special counsel team has left open the possibility that former President Yoon’s remarks were part of preliminary work to win over the military leadership during the process of preparing to declare a state of emergency, and has specified the timing of the preparations for emergency martial law as around November 2023. Previously, the special counsel team stated in a briefing that it had confirmed circumstances indicating that preparations for martial law had begun in the first half of 2024 during the investigation of officials from the ROK Armed Forces Counterintelligence Command. This latest move further advances that timeframe. The Special Counsel for Insurrection, which investigated suspicions of insurrection and foreign exchange violations related to the state of emergency, indicted former President Yoon and others on charges of being the ringleaders of an insurrection. Based on the notebook of former Intelligence Commander Noh Sang-won, the team concluded that the conspiracy to declare martial law had begun "before October 2023." However, the court of first instance did not accept the Special Counsel's claims by rejecting the evidentiary value of Noh Sang-won's notebook. It ruled, "It appears that such a decision was expressed externally by December 1, 2024, at the latest." #KwonChangYoungSpecialCouncilTeam #FormerJCSChairmanKimMyongSoo #AllegationsOfConspiracyToInsurrection #PreparationForStateOfEmergency #ComprehensiveSpecialCouncil #YoonSukYeol #StateOfEmergency #Preparation #Fact #Verification #MBCNews #MBC #NewsDesk #NewsToday #NewsSpecialReport #News #Live #RealTime ⓒ MBC&iMBC Unauthorized reproduction, redistribution, and use (including AI learning) prohibited
