종합특검, 조성현 전 수방사 단장 기소…이진우 등 항소심 쟁점될 듯
A high-profile trial is underway for former President Yoon Suk-yeol, accused of inciting a coup, with key figures testifying as witnesses. The military commander, Ju Jin-woo, testified that he received orders from President Yoon to send army personnel to the National Assembly on the day of the state of emergency declaration on December 3, 2024.
He claimed he had received no prior warning about the state of emergency and no instructions from President Yoon to bring lawmakers to the National Assembly. Ju Jin-woo denied receiving any orders from Ju Dong-seong, the former military commandant, contradicting previous statements by Ju Dong-seong. This contradicts the previous ruling that sentenced Ju Jin-woo to 30 years in prison for participating in the coup.
The credibility of Ju Jin-woo's testimony, which was used as key evidence in the prosecution of the coup, is now being questioned by the former military commandant.
