At the same time, they are also searching for Cho's official residence.

The police are trying to raid the presidential office?

[Reporter]
Yes, the Joint Investigation Headquarters, which is joined by the police and the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, said they are waiting to search and confiscate the server stored in the presidential office's security office.

In order to check the communication records of Police Commissioner Jo Ji-ho's security phone, "Vihwa Phone", they are attempting to execute a separate warrant.

It is said that securing a server is important to check the call history because the phone is equipped with eavesdropping and call recording prevention programs.

Police Commissioner Jo Ji-ho, who was arrested, said he spoke to President Yoon six times on a non-phonic phone during martial law, and that President Yoon ordered the lawmakers to be arrested.

However, as the confrontation with the security service continues for two hours, it is unclear whether the relevant call details can be secured.

At the same time, the Joint Investigation Headquarters has been searching for Cho's official residence since the morning.

Earlier, Commissioner Cho met with President Yoon at the president's safe house three hours before the declaration of martial law and said he was handed a document on martial law with one sheet of A4 paper and tore it up after returning to the official residence. Attention is focusing on whether he will be able to secure data on martial law orders.

Police arrested Cho on the 13th after judging that there is a possibility of destroying evidence, such as changing his words after saying that he knew of declaring martial law after seeing the president's statement.

In the meantime, the police's request for attendance to President Yoon Suk Yeol was returned, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, it has been confirmed that the request for attendance sent by the Joint Investigation Headquarters to President Yoon Suk Yeol has not been delivered.

According to the post office system, the request for attendance to the president's office is "undelivered" and the request for attendance to the president's residence has been returned as "rejected".

However, it is not known who refused to receive the mail, according to the publication.

Earlier, the government issued a notice to President Yoon to attend the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit at the Gwacheon Government Complex at 10 a.m. tomorrow (18th).

The government agency said yesterday that it failed to deliver a request for attendance to the presidential office and the residence, but that there was no problem as it was sent by express registration.

However, as the mail delivery failed, the Korea Communications Standards Agency is reportedly currently discussing the second request for attendance.
