"Please take care of the execution of the warrant"...Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit One-way Notification to Police

The high-ranking government official's crime investigation office has notified the police special investigation team, which is investigating jointly, to take responsibility for the re-execution of the arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol.

To sum up the YTN coverage, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit sent an official letter titled "Arrest Warrant and Search Warrant Execution Command" to the National Police Agency's National Investigation Headquarters at 7 a.m. today.

The official letter under the name of Deputy Chief Lee Jae-seung said that the government will delegate the execution of the warrant to the National Police Agency's National Investigation Headquarters in consideration of the expertise of execution to promote a quick and efficient process.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit also wrote today that it will apply to the court to extend the validity of the arrest and search warrants.

In fact, not only did the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit give up the re-execution of the warrant today, but it also means that it will take a step back from the future execution process, so criticism surrounding the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is expected to intensify.

An official from the National Defense Headquarters told YTN that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit has been entrusted with the execution of the warrant without any discussion in advance, and explained that they are reviewing the legal principles of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit's request.
