Initially, an investigation team will be formed to handle the case transferred from the Special Prosecutor for the Investigation of the Death of a Marine, whose investigation period has expired. Additional teams will be organized as the investigation periods for the remaining special prosecutors conclude.
A police official stated, "The head of the Special Investigation Headquarters will conduct investigations independently regarding his duties and will report only the results to the head of the National Office of Investigation."
