With the first arrest warrant issued for a sitting president for the first time in constitutional history, the police 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]
Since the media announcement that an arrest warrant for President Yoon was issued this morning, the police have yet to officially announce it.

It seems that they are discussing the timing and method of execution of the arrest warrant with the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit explained that it will consult with the police on the possibility of a physical conflict with the security service that may occur during the execution of the arrest warrant for President Yoon.

Previously, the Security Service has repeatedly prevented the seizure and search of police special teams 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.

As a result, there is a view that the security agency may clash while blocking access in the process of executing a search and arrest warrant for President Yoon.

Regarding this situation, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit said it is not an impossible issue to request a police mobilization to execute the warrant.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit also said it is a matter of consultation when asked by reporters whether the police will join if they interrogate President Yoon.

As the police special team previously stated that it would launch a joint investigation, we are also interested in how it will investigate President Yoon when executing the arrest warrant.

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.Except for President

Yoon, most of them have been investigated at least once.

Now, if only President Yoon attends the investigation agency, he will be able to cross-verify the suspects' statements regarding the progress of the 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.
