The prosecution notified you of the second summons, until when did you tell them to appear?
[Reporter]
The special investigation headquarters of the prosecution's emergency martial law again notified President Yoon Suk Yeol this morning to attend the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office for investigation.
The exact timing has not been confirmed, but as it is the second summons notice, it is likely that he has notified him to attend within two to three days.
As in the first summons, it is reported that they sent an official letter and a mail attendance request together.
Earlier, the prosecution also asked President Yoon to appear once on the 11th,
It is known that the investigation failed as President Yoon expressed his intention that it would be difficult to attend because the appointment of a lawyer was not completed.President Yun
is a suspect who is accused of rebellion and abuse of authority under the criminal law.If President
Yoon responds to the prosecution's investigation, it will be the first time in constitutional history that an incumbent president attends the prosecution as a suspect.

It seems that the prosecution has launched an investigation into President Yoon, the peak of suspicions, earlier than expected?
[Reporter]
It seems clear that the prosecution is conducting an investigation so quickly that it is unusual.
Earlier, the prosecution established an internal policy of demanding an investigation after solidifying President Yoon's allegations through an investigation into officials,
It seems that they have secured enough key statements and evidence related to the allegations to notify the summons of the current president
.
However, it is difficult to determine whether President Yoon will immediately respond to the investigation because he is in the position that declaring emergency martial law is an act of governance that is not subject to judicial review.
If President Yoon continues to refuse to comply with the summons, the prosecution is expected to consider obtaining an arrest warrant from the court and seeking to secure his whereabouts.

Let's go back to the investigation of the commanders of the military, an arrest warrant has been issued for Special Warfare Commander Kwak Jong-geun?
[Reporter]
Yes, the Central District Military Judicial Court issued an arrest warrant for Kwak Jong-geun, commander of the Special Warfare Command, this afternoon, saying he was concerned about removing evidence or running away.
The military court is currently conducting an interrogation of the suspect before arresting Lee Jin-woo, commander of the Capital Defense Command.
In the case of Army Chief of Staff Park An-soo, who was the martial law commander, he will be under arrest from 10 a.m. tomorrow.
They were charged with engaging in important missions of rebellion and abuse of authority,
He is accused of conspiring with President Yoon, former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun, and Yeo In-hyeong, commander of the Defense Security Command, to riot for the purpose of national constitution.
The commander's arrest is expected to be decided as early as today.
So far, I'm YTN Lee Kyung-guk at the Special Investigation Headquarters of the Prosecution Service.
