SEOUL, Dec. 11 (Yonhap) -- Police ended their hourslong attempt on Wednesday to raid the presidential office as the presidential security service refused to cooperate with their investigation into President Yoon Suk Yeol's alleged insurrection through his brief imposition of martial law last week.
​
Instead, Yoon's office voluntarily submitted "very limited" documents and materials to the police.
​
A team of 18 investigators arrived at the presidential office compound shortly before noon to search for material related to the martial law decree, including records of a Cabinet meeting held shortly before Yoon announced the order on Dec. 3, according to the National Investigation Office of the National Police Agency (NPA).
​
As of 4 p.m., however, the investigators had yet to enter the presidential office building as talks were ongoing with the presidential security service over how the raid would be conducted.

​
A warrant for the search listed Yoon as the suspect, and the president's office, the Cabinet meeting room, the Presidential Security Service and the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) building as subjects of the raid.
​
The JCS headquarters are located on the same compound, and the martial law command used the basement as its situation room during the six hours that martial law was enforced. Police were attempting to enter the building to seize material related to its operations.
​
Earlier reports said Yoon was not inside the presidential office building at the time of the attempted raid, but it later became unclear as those reports could not be confirmed.
​
Yoon has been named a suspect on charges of insurrection and mutiny. He has also been barred from leaving the country, becoming the first sitting president to be slapped with an exit ban.
​
Police suspect Yoon masterminded the alleged insurrection.
​
Army Special Warfare Commander Lt. Gen. Kwak Jong-keun told lawmakers Tuesday he was ordered by Yoon to drag out lawmakers from inside the National Assembly building to stop them from repealing the martial law order last week.
​
Law enforcement officials have also left open the possibility of placing Yoon under emergency arrest without a warrant given the gravity of insurrection, a crime that carries a penalty of up to death.
​
Police also raided the offices of the NPA, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency (SMPA) and the National Assembly Police Guards on Wednesday.
The search followed the emergency arrests of NPA chief Cho Ji-ho and SMPA chief Kim Bong-sik in the early hours of the day.

대통령실 압수수색 나선 경찰 국수본

(서울=연합뉴스) 홍해인 기자 = '12·3 비상계엄 사태' 수사를 위해 대통령실 압수수색에 나선 경찰 국가수사본부(국수본) 관계자들이 11일 서울 용산 대통령실 민원실로 향하고 있다. 2024.12.11 [대통령실통신사진기자단] hihong@yna.co.kr

(서울=연합뉴스) 계승현 기자 = 더불어민주당은 11일 "대통령실 압수수색을 방해하는 대통령 경호처의 행위는 내란 수괴를 보호하는 행위로 내란 가담에 해당한다"고 비판했다.

조승래 수석대변인은 이날 브리핑에서 "지금 대통령실과 경호처가 지켜주고 있는 것은 국가 원수가 아니라 내란 수괴"라며 이같이 말했다.

경찰 국가수사본부 특별수사단은 대통령실 압수수색을 위해 이날 오전 대통령실에 도착했지만, 경호처 측과 압수수색 방식에 대한 협의가 이뤄지지 않아 5시간 넘게 대치 중이다.

조 수석대변인은 "즉시 법 집행 방해를 멈추라"며 "더 이상 법 집행을 방해한다면 대통령실과 경호처의 내란 가담으로 간주하고, 명령권자는 물론이고 실행자까지 모두 내란죄로 고발하겠다"고 밝혔다.

그는 "경찰 또한 단호한 법 집행 의지로 대통령실과 경호처의 압수수색 방해를 진압하라"며 "민주당은 특검과 국정조사를 통해서 내란 수사 방해행위도 낱낱이 파악해 모두 엄벌에 처하겠다"고 경고했다.
