Presidential arrest warrant execution, when does it begin?
[Reporter]
Earlier, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit said it would inform reporters when an arrest warrant is executed.
The morning is coming to an end, but nothing has been announced yet.
However, as the deadline for President Yoon's arrest warrant is the 6th, there is still a possibility that the execution will begin this afternoon.
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 said he would keep his manners.

If an arrest warrant is executed, what procedures do you go through?
[Reporter]
First, prosecutors and investigators from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit who requested an arrest warrant will go to the execution site with the original 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, we will move to the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and investigate, which has prepared a 100-page questionnaire.
After the investigation, he will be imprisoned at the Seoul Detention Center in Uiwang-si, Gyeonggi-do, and will seek an arrest warrant before 48 hours have passed.

Has the president's position on this also come out?
[Reporter]
Yoon Gap-geun, a lawyer representing President Yoon, told YTN this morning that the warrant itself was invalid.
While filing a provisional injunction with the Constitutional Court, he answered that the authority under the Security Act would be legally exercised.
It appears to have indicated that he will stop the execution of the warrant through the security service.
It was also argued that it was illegal for a police task force to come forward during the
arrest process.

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.
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.
