The second special prosecutor team, led by Kwon Chang-young, will continue its investigation into remaining allegations related to insurrection and other issues until July 24.

The special prosecutor announced on June 23 that President Lee Jae-myung approved the extension of the investigation period on June 22, allowing the team to continue its work until next month.

This extension adds 60 days to the original 90-day investigation period, bringing the total to 150 days.

Previously, the special prosecutor extended the initial investigation deadline to June 24, citing the need to investigate multiple ongoing cases.

Following this, the team requested a second extension from the Blue House, which was granted by President Lee, enabling the investigation to proceed until July 24.
