Three military leaders temporarily removed from duty due to accusations of planning a military coup
South Korea's Defense Counterintelligence Command (DCIC) is facing scrutiny and potential reorganisation following allegations of its involvement in a botched martial law bid. The defense ministry has confirmed a policy road map outlining the government's plan to eventually scrap the DCIC and transfer its lsat data roles to other institutions.
On Tuesday, the policy road map was confirmed, revealing the government's intentions. The DCIC's future may involve being scrapped, as per the government's plan. This decision comes after the suspension of all seven general officers at the DCIC, following the suspension of three earlier.
The martial law imposition is associated with former President Yoon Suk Yeol, and the DCIC is under scrutiny for its role in the incident. The defense ministry separated these officers, pending suspension, for fact verification.
Yeo In-hyung, the former head of the DCIC, is accused of sending troops to the National Assembly and the National Election Commission. He has been indicted on charges including perjury and violation of military secrets.
The defense ministry issued a notice to reporters regarding the suspension of the general officers. The martial law imposition is suspected to involve the DCIC, and the suspension and investigation are in relation to the incident.
The defense ministry aims to seek swift stabilisation of the organisation. The government plans to transfer the lsat data roles of the DCIC to other institutions, with the details yet to be confirmed. The search results do not provide information about which institutions are designated by the government office policy plan to take over the role of the DCIC or when this plan was confirmed.
The DCIC's lsat data roles may be transferred to other institutions, according to the confirmed policy road map. The suspension of the general officers marks a significant step towards potential reorganisation of the DCIC. The defense ministry's move is aimed at restoring public trust and ensuring the integrity of the military intelligence agency.
As the situation unfolds, the public and media will continue to monitor developments regarding the DCIC's future and the ongoing investigation into the martial law imposition incident.
