The prosecution and police investigation authorities are rapidly conducting investigations into the president of Yoon Suk Yeol, such as attempting to seize and search the president's office.

There are observations that a summons investigation is also imminent, and some predict that if they deny it, they could start arresting them.

Investigators are speeding up by investigating those involved in emergency martial law and attempting to raid the presidential office.

The next step is to investigate President Yoon Suk Yeol himself, who has been identified as the head of the alleged insurrection.President

Yoon himself denied it, but there are also statements that he gave direct orders at the time of martial law.

[Kwak Jong-geun / Special Warfare Commander (last 10th): (President) It seems that the quorum has not been filled yet. [He said, "Hurry up and break the door and pull out the people inside."]

As the incumbent president, the way of investigation is a concern.

First, there is a way to formally notify and investigate attendance.

However, it is unlikely that President Yoon will respond to the investigation as he denies the charge of rebellion and has virtually not even accepted the seizure and search of the presidential office.

Therefore, the possibility of emergency arrest of President Yoon without a warrant is increasing.

However, even if the impeachment bill is passed, conflicts with the security service are inevitable as the presidential protocol and security are maintained.

[Park Sung-jae / Minister of Justice] Resisting due execution of official duties will be another matter. (If you resist, it interferes with the execution of official duties, right?) That's what I think.]

One of the options is to obtain an arrest warrant first and secure recruits.

It is common to investigate and claim first, but the case itself is exceptional when looking at the charges or targets.

Some analysts say that the investigation authorities could launch a forced investigation into President Yoon himself as soon as possible, as concerns over the destruction of evidence are rising over the president's failure to comply with the seizure and search.
