The Special Investigation Headquarters, which is investigating the Itaewon disaster, is calling police officers, including Park Hee-young, the head of the Yongsan-gu Office, and Park Seong-min, the former head of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency’s intelligence division.
As the main suspect has already been investigated several times, this week it is expected that he will decide how to deal with the new recruit, including requesting an arrest warrant.
A reporter is on the scene. Reporter Lim Seong-jae!
Does the special issue call Park Hee-young, the head of Yongsan-gu, and the police officers suspected of ordering the deletion of the Halloween-related intelligence report?

The special issue resumes Park Hee-young, the head of Yongsan-gu, Seoul, as a suspect ten days after the first investigation.
In addition, the key forces suspected of being involved in the disposal of intelligence reports relating to Halloween are being recalled for investigation.
Park Seong-min is the former head of the intelligence department of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency and the former head of the intelligence department at the Yongsan Police Station.
First of all, Mayor Park is accused of neglecting to prepare measures to prevent safety accidents in Itaewon during Halloween and responding inappropriately to the disaster situation.
He left without properly participating in the ‘expansion executive meeting’ scheduled to be chaired four days before the disaster, and did not even appear at the ‘Halloween emergency countermeasures meeting’ held a day later.
It was also revealed that he did not visit the site on the day of the disaster and that he did not attend several meetings immediately afterwards.
It appears that the special issue will focus on proving the charges against Mayor Park today based on the statements of related persons and analysis of the results of seized items obtained so far.
As for the suspected deletion of the ‘intelligence report’, this time, Park Seong-min, the former head of the information department of the Seoul Metropolitan Government, and the former head of the information department Yongsan-seo, who work at the officer level, have call them at the same time.
It appears that the special edition will order the removal of the two people, and look at the circumstances of the order and the possibility of covering up an order.
In particular, they are expected to ask whether the intelligence report in Yongsan-seo, concerned about the pre-Halloween crowd problem, was deleted in accordance with normal procedure, or whether there was another intention in preparation for inspection and seizure .
In addition, in connection with the disaster, the former Chief Officer of the 112 Situation of Yongsan Police Station, who is in charge of the police field, is called again, and the subpoena investigation into working level figures is coming to an end.
[앵커]
The special issue immediately called out the main suspects today, and it appears that quite a few investigations have been carried out on working level figures.
After all, the recruitment process for the main suspect is also expected this week?
[기자]
The special previewed the recruitment process for this week’s prime suspect.
This is because the suspects booked in the first round have been called twice for investigation.
The second investigation of former Yongsan Police Station Chief Lee Im-jae, former Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency Situation Manager Ryu Mi-jin, and Yongsan Fire Chief Choi Seong-beom has already been completed.
In addition, today, the second investigation of the main suspects will be completed with the summons and investigation of the head of the Park district office and the former head of information of the Yongsan Police Station.
So, as the special edition announced, we are interested to see if the main suspects will be recruited this week.
Based on the subpoena investigation and the analysis of seized goods, it appears that some suspects will be selected and an arrest warrant will be requested.
If the arrest investigation is carried out, it appears that the investigation into the ‘top line’, which has been identified as insufficient, will also accelerate.
The special edition previously announced that it would summon and investigate Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency Chief Kim Kwang-ho, and announced that it would conduct all necessary investigations into Public Administration and Security Minister Lee Sang-min , for which a complaint was filed.
So far, it has been delivered in special editions.
