While the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is considering countermeasures, it is weighing a plan to notify the third summons soon.

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 was predicted to some extent that President Yoon

refused 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.

This is not the first time that President Yoon's investigation into the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit has failed,
How is the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit going to respond in the future
?

[Reporter]
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.

It is known that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit plans to decide on the measures as early as tomorrow through an internal meeting.

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.
