The high-ranking government official's criminal investigation office has launched a fourth day of enforcement attempts after an arrest warrant was issued for President Yoon Suk Yeol.

When an investigative agency obtains a warrant, it is common to immediately execute the investigation to maintain its clandestine behavior, but
It was only after three days of the week given by the
expiration date that we went into execution.

Earlier, Airborne Minister Oh Dong-woon also declined to say that he would execute the warrant within the deadline, but that the specific timing is under discussion.

[Dongwoon Oh / Senior Civil Servant Crime Investigation Director (Executive): We are discussing at the level of the Joint Investigation Headquarters and will execute it within the deadline.]

It seems that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit's decision to put such efforts into enforcement was to carefully check whether it was illegal, as it was the first attempt to arrest an incumbent president.

In fact, it is known that the police have coordinated details such as role sharing and countermeasures for each scenario until the day before the attempt.After deliberation on

, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit chose early Friday morning as the time of arrest, which seems to be based on the calculation that it will avoid weekends when a large number of supporters of President Yoon will gather.

In particular, it is analyzed that they tried to prevent possible conflicts by executing them in a surprise manner in the early morning when many gathered.
