The date for the notification of the summons of President Yoon Suk Yeol by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is tomorrow, what will the investigation be like in the future?

[Reporter]
Yes, the prosecution, the police, and the high-ranking government official's criminal investigation office competed for the investigation into President Yoon Suk Yeol.

Since then, the police have set up a joint investigation headquarters with the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit then notified President Yoon of the third summons, but the president is protesting that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit's investigation itself is illegal,

The police are also watching whether President Yoon will be present.

There is also a possibility that the police, which can investigate the rebellion, will accept President Yoon's claim and notify him of the summons again,

The police have not given much meaning to the president's backlash, saying it is only an 'argument'.

As the police are conducting an investigation with the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, the police are expected to decide on how to respond to the investigation in the future depending on whether President Yoon will attend tomorrow.

The police are summoning the presidential chief of staff for questioning?

[Reporter]
Yes, earlier, Presidential Chief of Staff Jeong Jin-seok submitted a statement to the National Assembly Steering Committee that he could not attend the meeting scheduled for the day after tomorrow.

He explained that the reason was that he was notified by the investigative agency to attend on the 30th as a defendant, that is, on the same day as the general meeting.

Accordingly, the police are expected to investigate the accused the day after tomorrow.

In addition, Shin Won-sik, head of the National Security Office, also submitted a statement of reason for not attending the National Assembly's steering committee, saying that he was notified by the investigative agency to come for investigation on the same day as a reference.

Earlier on the 17th, the Democratic Party of Korea and others filed a complaint against Chief of Staff Chung and National Security Office chief Shin to the high-ranking government official's criminal investigation office on charges of assisting in rebellion.It is claimed that he watched President

Yoon's rebellion right next to him and tolerated and assisted the rebellion even though he was the highest-ranking aide in the presidential office, but Chief of Staff Jeong Jin-seok and others cannot accept it.
