I'll connect with a reporter and listen to the details.

The high-ranking government official's criminal investigation office reportedly informed the police to take responsibility for the re-execution of the warrant ahead of the deadline for the arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol today.

The police say it's absurd.

I'm connecting you with a field reporter. Reporter Youngsoo Kim!

[Reporter]
It's a high-ranking government official's criminal investigation office.

You're saying that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is not executing an arrest warrant, right?

[Reporter]
I think we should look at it like that first.

Today's deadline for execution of arrest warrants has expired, so reporters, including us, have been very nervous since early in the morning.

But unlike the last three days, there was no movement at all. I told you about it earlier.

A while ago, it was confirmed that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit handed over the execution of the arrest warrant to the police.

They sent an official letter to the police at 7 a.m. this morning. Specifically, it was an official document titled "Arrest Warrant and Search Warrant Execution Command."

It was found that the police want to entrust this to the police because they are good at enforcement.

It has also been confirmed that he has asked the police for their opinion, saying that the arrest warrant is due today, but he will apply for an extension of the period.

I think today's execution of the arrest warrant should be considered canceled.

Then, what is the specific position of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit?

[Reporter]
The specific position of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit has not been confirmed.

However, Yoon Suk Yeol's lawyers have previously argued that it is illegal, saying that they do not have the right to investigate rebellion at the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

That's why he refused to comply with the request for attendance and protested the execution of arrest warrants.

It is assumed that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is trying to resolve this controversy.

Since the official position hasn't come out yet, we have no choice but to estimate it.

However, today is the last day of the arrest warrant deadline, and the decision was suddenly made, and it seems that the consultation with the police was not done properly.

After that, I think there could be criticism.

Also, it is still unclear whether this is to hand over the entire case or to ask for only the execution of an arrest warrant.

This is also a situation that needs to be checked additionally. I'll let you know as soon as I get an additional confirmation.
