Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit Claims Former Minister Kim's Pre-Arrest Warrant...preparation for dismissal
[Anchor]
It is expected that the arrest of former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun, the 'key to the martial law', will be decided as early as today.

In preparation for the dismissal of the warrant, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit also requested an arrest warrant for former Minister Kim.

I'm connecting with the reporter. Reporter Kwon Junsu!

[Reporter]
Yes, this is the special investigation headquarters of the prosecution.

[Anchor]
The warrant questioning of former Minister Kim ended in 30 minutes?

[Reporter]
Yes, around 3:30 p.m., the interrogation of the suspect before the arrest of former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun ended.

It was found that only the prosecution was present this morning as former Minister Kim expressed his intention to give up the arrest examination.

It is expected to be decided as early as tonight whether to issue a warrant or not.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit also requested a preliminary arrest warrant for former Minister Kim.

It seems to have been prepared in case the arrest warrant is dismissed on the grounds that the prosecution does not have the right to investigate the alleged "insurrection."

[Anchor]
If the prosecution secures former Minister Kim's whereabouts, it will have a big impact on the investigation, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, it is.

After securing former Minister Kim's whereabouts, the prosecution is expected to clear up the accomplice relationship, including National Police Agency Commissioner Jo Ji-ho.

The prosecution charged former Minister Kim with "engaging in an important mission of rebellion."

In the criminal law, the crime of rebellion is punished by dividing it into a leader and a person who has been engaged in an important task.

Therefore, it means that former Minister Kim is not the leader, and in fact, it is interpreted that he judged President Yoon, the final decision maker, as a bribe.

As the police and the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit are competitively investigating, there is a possibility of forced investigations into the presidential office and the Hannam-dong residence.

So far, I'm Kwon Jun-su from the Special Investigation Division of the Prosecution Service.
