It is predicted that the execution of the warrant will take place today (2nd), the third day after the arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol was issued.

In the process, there is a possibility that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit will be supported by the police task force, and President Yoon is protesting, saying it is an illegal act without a legal basis.

Let's connect with the on-site reporter and listen to the police. Reporter Lim Yejin!

It is predicted that the arrest warrant will be executed as early as today, so what is the atmosphere of the police special forces?

[Reporter]
The special police team is discussing when and how to execute the arrest warrant with the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, which requested the warrant,
The
Police Special Task Force said it was fully aware of the various opinions regarding the support for the execution of the warrant and said it would not raise illegality issues after legal review and consultation with the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

Yoon Gap-geun, a lawyer for President Yoon Suk Yeol, expressed his position today when he argued that it is illegal for the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit to receive support from the police task force during the execution of the arrest warrant.

Currently, several police task force buses are deployed around the official residence.

As the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit said earlier that it is not impossible to request a police mobilization for the execution of the warrant, some observers say that the execution is not far away.If we attempt to execute an arrest warrant for President

Yoon, it is expected that there will be a lot of resistance from supporters who are rallying near the official residence as well as the security service.

As there is a possibility of physical conflict, the police are reportedly discussing plans to maintain order around the official residence with the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

In addition, as a large crowd gathers, traffic congestion around the area is expected, and additional police personnel may be deployed to control it.

How does it affect the police investigation if President Yoon is secured?

[Reporter]
As President Yoon is a key suspect in the December 3 emergency martial law incident, which is suspected of being the head of the rebellion, the investigation by the police special team is expected to speed up.

Police are investigating 45 people, including 21 officials from the ruling party and 19 soldiers, in connection with the martial law incident.

When martial law was declared, all participants in the Cabinet meeting, including Prime Minister Han Deok-soo, were booked, and Choo Kyung-ho, former floor leader of the People's Power, was accused of obstructing the vote to lift martial law.

Except for Presidential Chief of Staff Chung Jin-seok, who did not respond to police attendance on the 30th of last month, most of them have completed more than one investigation.

On top of that, if President Yoon attends an investigative agency and makes a statement on the progress of the emergency martial law, he will be able to cross-verify the evidence and statements secured earlier.

It is also interested in whether the police will participate in the investigation of President Yoon, but it has been found that the police are still in discussion with the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit whether the police will be present during the presidential interrogation.

So far, I'm YTN Lim Ye-jin from the National Police Agency's National Investigation Headquarters.
