Special prosecutor Cho Eun-seok, leading the insurrection investigation, has selected eight candidates for deputy special prosecutor and requested President Lee Jae-myung to appoint them.

It is reported that the dispatched prosecutors, who were requested by Cho to the Supreme Prosecutors' Office for support, have already begun to familiarize themselves with the special prosecutor's work.

Special prosecutor Lee Myung-hyun, who is investigating the pressure on the deceased Marine investigation, has also completed the recommendation process for deputy special prosecutor candidates.

This special prosecutor has stated that they will prioritize candidates with military legal experience, and it is reported that lawyers Ryu Kwan-seok and Lee Sang-yoon, who have experience in military cases, are among the candidates.

The search for an office where the full-scale investigation will take place is also gaining momentum.

It has been tentatively decided to use part of the Seoul High Prosecutors' Office as the office for the insurrection special prosecutor, while Kim Keon-hee's special prosecutor is seriously considering the KT building in Gwanghwamun, Seoul.

The deceased Marine special prosecutor is looking for an office near Seocho-dong, where the Seoul High Prosecutors' Office and the Central District Prosecutors' Office are located.

Special prosecutor for Kim Keon-hee case has appointed a head of the special prosecutor support team, who will be responsible for administrative and support tasks, and is accelerating preparations for the launch.
