While the execution of the arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol has been canceled, attention is also being paid to whether the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit will immediately seek an arrest warrant for President Yoon.

Reporter Baek Jong-kyu summarized how previous presidents who had been criminally punished in the past were investigated.

[Reporter]
Former Presidents Chun Doo-hwan, Roh Tae-woo, Lee Myung Bak, and Park Geun Hye have all been investigated and tried since leaving office.

The most recent case is former President Lee Myung Bak, who was arrested and charged with embezzlement of slush funds and bribery in 2018, five years after leaving office.

Former President Park Geun Hye, who was arrested and indicted on charges of state affairs manipulation, was investigated by the prosecution after the Constitutional Court decided to dismiss him.

A year after leaving office, former President Roh Moo Hyun attended the Central Investigation Department of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office for investigation on charges of bribery related to Park Yeon-cha's gate,
Former President Roh Tae-woo
was arrested the same month after being investigated by the Supreme Prosecutors' Office in November 1995 on charges of civil war and bribery.

Seven years after leaving office, former President Chun Doo-hwan was arrested and charged with 10 charges, including a rebellion, murder for the purpose of rebellion, and bribery during the December 12 military revolt and the May 18 Democratic Movement.

He was the only one who refused to attend the investigation agency and issued a so-called "alley statement" before going down to his hometown of Hapcheon, Gyeongsangnam-do, but

When the prosecution issued a preliminary arrest warrant and executed it, he was arrested and investigated at Anyang Prison.

President Yoon Suk Yeol is under investigation for suspected rebellion, which is an exception from the fluoridation privilege, and is the first incumbent president to have an arrest warrant issued.Attention is also being paid to whether the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, which has failed to secure the whereabouts of President

Yoon, will seek an arrest warrant without investigation.
