Place of execution 'Hannam-dong Presidential residence'...Also issued a search warrant
Director of Airborne "Execution of warrants in principle"…No nightly arrests, no arrests.
The high-ranking government official's criminal investigation office will attempt to execute an arrest warrant against President Yoon Suk Yeol as early as today.
There is no legal basis to prevent enforcement, but there are still concerns about physical conflicts with members of security agencies and conservative groups.
I'll connect you to a reporter for more information. Reporter Kim Chulhee!
Presidential Arrest Warrant Enforcement, are you trying today?
[Reporter]
Earlier, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit said it would inform reporters when an arrest warrant is executed.
There is no clear announcement yet.
However, since President Yoon's arrest warrant is due on the 6th, there is a possibility that the execution may begin within today.
The main execution site is the presidential residence in Hannam-dong, Seoul.
Earlier, Airborne Minister Oh Dong-woon said he would execute the warrant according to principle, but drew a line on attempts to arrest him in a surprise attack at night, saying he would keep his manners.

If an arrest warrant is executed, what procedures do you go through?
[Reporter]
The arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol was requested under the name of Cha Jung-hyun, the chief prosecutor of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.
Prosecutor Cha will go to the execution site with the original arrest warrant.
After that, he presents an arrest warrant to President Yoon, explains the reason, and notifies him of the so-called "Miranda Principles."
After that, they move to the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and conduct an investigation.
After the investigation, we will be imprisoned at the Seoul Detention Center in Uiwang-si, Gyeonggi-do.
The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is expected to request an arrest warrant before 48 hours have passed after conducting a high-intensity investigation.

Isn't there a concern about physical conflict with the presidential security?
[Reporter]
First of all, the search warrant issued by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit stipulates that "the application of some provisions of the Criminal Procedure Act is excluded."It is a clause that states that places requiring military secrets of
cannot be seized or searched without the consent of the person in charge.
The security service has been preventing the seizure and search of the presidential office based on this, but this time it is difficult to refuse.
Already, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit has warned that locking barricades and iron doors and refusing to comply with the execution of arrest warrants itself is an obstruction of justice.
Not only the security service, but also the backlash of supporters who rally near the official residence is a stumbling block.
As a result, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit has also been discussing with the police about maintaining order.

Let's take another look at President Yoon's charges.
[Reporter]
Yes, the charges stated in the presidential warrant are the head of the rebellion and abuse of authority.
On the 3rd of last month, after declaring an emergency martial law, the military and police were sent to the National Assembly and the National Election Commission to paralyze the function of an independent constitutional institution.
In fact, if you look at the decree No. 1, which was announced shortly after President Yoon declared martial law, political activity itself is prohibited.
After martial law, it was also revealed that he ordered the arrest of key politicians, including National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik, Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung, and former People's Power leader Han Dong-hoon.
President Yoon himself ordered 'to break down the door even by shooting and bring down the lawmakers.'Or, there was even a flood of testimony saying, 'You can declare the martial law two or three times,
'.
Recently, the prosecution also indicted former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun and others, pointing out that the president is at the top of all civil war crimes.
So far, I'm Kim Chul-hee from the High-ranking Public Officials Crime Bureau.
