Did President Yoon finally refuse to comply with the investigation?
[Reporter]
Yes, an official from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit said that President Yoon was not present at 10 a.m. today when he notified the summons.It is also predicted to some extent that President
Yoon refuses to comply with the summons of investigative agencies one after another.
Earlier, the Joint Investigation Headquarters sent a request for attendance to the official residence and the presidential office on the 20th, but President Yoon refused to receive mail and did not read electronic official documents.
In addition, lawyer Seok Dong-hyun, who is involved in the formation of President Yoon's lawyers, officially announced his intention not to attend yesterday (24th), saying, "I don't think it will be possible to attend tomorrow."Lawyer Seok explains that President
Yoon intends to respond to the Constitutional Court's impeachment hearings first and then respond to the investigation.Some say that President Yoon
is trying to delay the investigation as it has been confirmed that he has not yet handed over a lawyer to the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

How is the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit going to respond in the future
?
[Reporter]
There is a high possibility that President Yoon will not appear today, but the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit will wait a little longer.
Most of the investigation team, including Senior Prosecutor Cha Jung-hyun and Chief Public Prosecutor Oh Dong-woon, reportedly came to work to prepare for the investigation.President
Yoon has so far refused to comply with the summons of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit twice.
Today, of course, I didn't respond to the first request for attendance on the 18th.
The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit believes that President Yoon must be investigated as he is suspected of rebellion and abuse of authority, and is at the peak of the emergency martial law crisis.
Accordingly, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit plans to consider whether to send a third request for attendance to President Yoon or to forcibly secure a recruit by requesting an arrest warrant.
For now, it is known that they are weighing on a new survey date to demand attendance again.
Separately, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit will hand over the recruits of Moon Sang-ho, the intelligence commander suspected of "pre-mocking martial law," to the military prosecution as early as today.
