Prosecutors on Monday indicted the top military intelligence commander over his alleged involvement in President Yoon Suk Yeol's botched martial law imposition last month.
The prosecution's special investigation team indicted Defense Intelligence Commander Maj. Gen. Moon Sang-ho on charges of playing an "integral" role in an insurrection and abuse of power.
Moon is suspected of sending troops to the National Election Commission's office in Gwacheon, south of Seoul, on the night of the short-lived martial law imposition on Dec. 3.
He is also suspected of discussing martial law operations with Noh Sang-won, a former defense intelligence commander, alongside two other subordinates, at a burger franchise in Gyeonggi Province two days ahead of the martial law imposition. (Yonhap)
