On June 13, Jo held a meeting in the morning at the Seoul High Prosecutors' Office with Park Sehyun, head of the Special Investigation Headquarters for Martial Law at the prosecution (Chief Prosecutor of the Seoul High Prosecutors' Office). Later, at around 3 p.m., he visited the Special Investigation Unit for Martial Law at the police.
Jo appears to have visited both the prosecution and the police in succession to discuss the current status and progress of the ongoing investigation, as well as issues such as the dispatch of prosecutors and investigators.
In a statement released in the morning, Jo said, "I will approach this investigation with the utmost attention to detail, as if I were recording official annals, and will carry out my duties as special prosecutor solely based on investigative logic."
Regarding the direction of the special investigation, he stated that he would provide further explanation once the composition of the investigation team and the selection of the office are finalized.
The special investigation team for the insurrection case is expected to be formed with 267 members, making it the largest special prosecutor team in history.
Previously, the presidential office appointed Jo (insurrection special prosecutor), Min Jungki (Kim Keonhee special prosecutor), and Lee Myeonghyeon (Chae Haebyeong special prosecutor) from among the candidates recommended by the Democratic Party and the Cho Kuk Innovation Party for the three major special prosecutor positions (insurrection, Kim Keonhee, and Chae Haebyeong special prosecutors).
