Oh Dong-woon, head of the high-ranking government official's crime investigation department, said he would execute an arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol until the 6th, the validity of the warrant.
He stressed that he is consulting with the police on the specific timing and that it is the exercise of authority according to the principle.
[Dongwoon Oh / Senior Civil Servants Crime Investigation Director: We will exercise our authority in accordance with the principle of the search warrant after the arrest warrant. It is being discussed at the level of the Joint Investigation Headquarters and we will execute it within the deadline."
He said he would strictly enforce the law but keep manners, and he actually drew a line on the possibility of a surprise arrest at night.
However, in consideration of the rally against arrest in front of the official residence, we hope that the execution can be carried out without much need, but police personnel are called
in preparation for a conflict.
[O Dong-woon / Senior Civil Servant Crime Investigation Director: We hope that it will proceed without much trouble, but we are also cooperating to mobilize police personnel in preparation for such a situation.]
As the first-ever attempt to arrest a sitting president has become visible, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is also stepping up preparations for the investigation.
If President Yoon is secured, he will be put in the investigation room of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit in Building 5 of the Gwacheon Government Complex, and immediately investigate.
It is said that more than 100 pages of questionnaires have been prepared, and not only Cha Jung-hyun, the chief prosecutor, but also Lee Jae-seung, the deputy chief prosecutor, is being discussed to participate in the newspaper.
In addition, we are also considering video recording of the investigation process to block disputes on transparency or fairness of statements that may arise in the future.
If President Yoon succeeds in the face-to-face investigation, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit will also consider whether to request an arrest warrant at the level of cooperation.
