Senior prosecutor Park Se-hyun said in a televised statement Sunday that authorities launched a 62-member special investigation team on the martial law case.
Kim is a central figure in Yoon’s martial law enforcement, which led to special forces troops encircling the National Assembly building and army helicopters hovering over it.
In Kim’s impeachment motion document, the Democratic Party and other opposition parties accused him of proposing martial law to Yoon.
The Defense Ministry said it has suspended three top military commanders over their alleged involvement in the martial law imposition.
In a parliamentary hearing on Friday, Lee, one of Yoon’s closest associates, defended Yoon’s martial law decree, saying the president exercised his powers “within the boundaries of constitutional processes and law.”
