With the first arrest warrant issued for a sitting president for the first time in constitutional history, the investigation into the 12.3 emergency martial law is also expected to accelerate.
There is a reporter on the scene. Reporter Yoon Woong Sung!An arrest warrant has been issued for President
Yoon, what is the situation of the police special investigation team investigating with the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit?
[Reporter]
First of all, the police appear to be discussing the timing and method of execution of arrest warrants with the high-ranking public prosecutor's office.
There is a possibility that the police will not cooperate with the arrest warrant because the security service has repeatedly blocked the seizure and search of the presidential office and Samcheong-dong.
The security agency has locked the door of the presidential office based on Article 110 of the Criminal Procedure Act, which states that places requiring military secrets cannot be seized or searched without the consent of the person in charge.
On the other hand, the investigation authorities say there is no legal problem with the execution of the warrant.
An official from the police special investigation team explained that they are preparing to execute the warrant by fully reviewing various variables, while not talking about specific countermeasures.

If we secure President Yoon's whereabouts, how will the police investigation proceed?
[Reporter]
As President Yoon is a key suspect in the 12.3 emergency martial law incident, which is suspected of a rebellion, the investigation of the police special team is also expected to speed up.
Earlier, the police have booked 45 people, including 21 party officials and 19 soldiers, including President Yoon and Prime Minister Han Deok-soo.With the exception of President
Yoon, most of them have been investigated at least once, and if President Yoon attends the investigation agency, cross-verification will be possible regarding the progress of emergency martial law.
In the end, if President Yoon is secured with an arrest warrant because he does not voluntarily attend, the investigative agency must request an arrest warrant or release it within 48 hours.
In reality, if an arrest warrant is executed, it is likely to lead to subsequent arrest warrants and prosecutions.
So far, I'm YTN Yoon Woong-sung at the National Police Agency's National Investigation Headquarters.
