The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit determines that criminal investigation related to abuse of authority is possible
While the high-ranking government official's criminal investigation office has notified President Yoon Suk Yeol that he will be investigated tomorrow, we are interested in whether President Yoon will actually attend.
President Yoon's side said that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit does not have the right to investigate and that it is an illegal investigation, and that he will not attend.

I guess President Yoon won't come out, right?
[Reporter]
Yes, there is a high possibility that it will not come out so far.
It was 10 a.m. tomorrow when the Airborne Division and the police notified President Yoon Suk Yeol of the summons, but as in the first and second rounds, the request for attendance was not served.Yoon Gap-geun, a lawyer for President Yoon
, said in a phone call with YTN this morning that it is clear that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit does not have the right to investigate, and even mentioned that it is an illegal investigation.
It can be interpreted as claiming that the crime of rebellion is not included in the scope of the investigation by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.
However, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit can also investigate the crime of rebellion for crimes related to abuse of authority, and believes that it has been proved by the seizure and search warrants already received from the court.
After confirming that President Yoon did not come out tomorrow, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is expected to review the next steps, including a request for an arrest warrant.

Former Minister Kim Yong-hyun was indicted yesterday, and President Yoon Suk Yeol appeared a lot in the prosecution's explanatory materials, right?
[Reporter]
Yes, there are about 40 expressions of the president in a press release that is about 10 pages long.
During martial law, the president of Yoon Suk Yeol ordered a military commander at the scene to break down the door even if he fired a gun.Or, it included saying martial law can be done two or three times.
It seems to contain the prosecution's judgment that the act of disorderly conduct of the National Constitution was carried out by the president's order and the implementation of former Minister Kim Yong-hyun.
However, President Yoon refuted that it was only a one-sided claim by the prosecution, saying that it was difficult to see it as an indictment and that it disclosed something that did not fit the objective situation without verification.
In particular, he did not hide his discomfort, saying, "I don't know if it was a prosecution by former Minister Kim or President Yoon Suk Yeol," and pointed out that it was a public announcement of the charges.
So far, I'm YTN Kwon Jun-su from the High-ranking Public Officials Crime Bureau.
