Prosecutors on Friday indicted a former commander of the Protection Intelligence Command (DIC) over his alleged involvement in President Yoon Suk Yeol’s botched martial legislation bid final month.

The prosecution’s particular investigation workforce indicted retired Military Maj. Gen. Noh Sang-won with bodily detention on rebellion and abuse of authority fees.

Noh is accused of discussing martial legislation operation plans with former and incumbent navy intelligence officers at a burger franchise in Ansan, southwest of Seoul, two days earlier than the plans have been executed and on Dec. 3, the day of their imposition.

He’s additionally suspected of ordering intelligence officers to take over the Nationwide Election Fee’s headquarters and arrest and confine its staff to show allegations the watchdog rigged the outcomes of previous parliamentary elections. (Yonhap)
