Police have revealed parts of a notebook belonging to former chief of the Defense Intelligence Command Noh Sang-won who is suspected of taking part in the December 3 martial law attempt.

The police’s special team probing the martial law incident partially disclosed during a private briefing on Monday contents of the notebook secured during a raid of Noh’s residence.

According to an official of the team, the notebook included the words “parliamentary lockdown” and referred to politicians, journalists, religious figures, union members, judges and civil servants as “subjects for roundup.”

The official explained that by “roundup,” Noh apparently was referring to arrests. 

According to the official, another note read, “induce an attack from North Korea at the Northern Limit Line.” 

The revelation comes amid suspicions that Yoon sought to declare martial law by instigating a military clash with the North.

Noh is currently awaiting trial behind bars. He is facing charges of conspiring to commit treason.
