With the expiration of the Yoon Suk Yeol president's arrest warrant just a day away, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit continues to agonize over countermeasures.

The president of Yoon Suk Yeol filed an objection, saying that the execution of the arrest warrant by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit was illegal, but it was confirmed that the court rejected it.

For more information, I'll connect you to the site. Reporter Baek Jong Kyu!

The high-ranking government official's criminal investigation office is considering re-attempting the execution of an arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol, right?

[Reporter]
The day before yesterday (3rd), when the warrant was executed, he was busy for execution, but there is no special movement today.

However, around 10 a.m., Oh Dong-woon, head of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, went to work at the government building, and most of the investigation teams went to work.

The validity of the arrest warrant for President Yoon issued by the court is until tomorrow (6th).

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is still considering countermeasures.

Yesterday afternoon (4th), the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit sent an official letter to Acting President Choi Sang-mok, the command supervisor of the Presidential Security Service, asking him to direct the security service to cooperate in the execution of the arrest warrant.

In the end, it can be seen that the plan to re-enforce the warrant is still under consideration, but it is understood that Acting President Choi has not yet sent an answer.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit can consider other options if it is not possible to retry the execution of the arrest warrant, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit explains that all possibilities are being reviewed and discussed.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit believes that if the arrest warrant is not executed within the expiration date, it is also possible to get the warrant again.

We are also considering requesting a preliminary arrest warrant for President Yoon immediately.

This is because there was strong opposition from the Security Service and others during the previous execution, and President Yoon is also said to be refusing to comply with the execution of arrest warrants.President Yoon

said he would comply with the warrant review if the arrest warrant was legally requested.

In the midst of this, President Yoon protested the arrest warrant and warned of legal action?

[Reporter]
Yes, President Yoon's legal representatives issued a statement today.

On the 3rd, he said he would file a complaint against more than 150 people, including Senior Superintendent of Public Offices Oh Dong-woon, prosecutors and investigators of the Public Offices, and police special teams, on charges of obstructing the execution of special public affairs.

In particular, the agents claimed that the head of the airborne department commanded the special police team and executed the arrest warrant unconstitutionally and illegally, even though he did not have the command.

In addition, Deputy Commissioner of the National Police Agency Lee Ho-young and Vice Minister of National Defense Kim Sun-ho abandoned their duties because they refused the security chief's request for legitimate cooperation, and they also predicted a complaint.At the same time, President

Yoon's side said that President Yoon will attend and make a statement on the impeachment hearing date of the Constitutional Court.Yoon Kap-geun, a lawyer representing the president

Yoon, said the president will appear on the appropriate date and express his opinion.President Yun

has announced that he will reveal the background and legitimacy of the emergency martial law in detail in the impeachment trial.

President Yoon filed an objection, saying that the execution of an arrest warrant by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit was illegal, but the court did not accept it, right?

[Reporter]
The Seoul Western District Court today rejected President Yoon's objection to the execution of an arrest warrant.

Earlier, when the Seoul District Court issued an arrest warrant for President Yoon and judged the application of Articles 110 and 111 of the Criminal Procedure Act as exceptions, President Yoon has strongly opposed it.

At the same time, on the 2nd, President Yoon filed an objection.

Accordingly, the Seoul Western District Court allocated it to the Criminal Chamber 7 alone, and today the court finally rejected President Yoon's objection.
