The controversy over the execution of the arrest warrant seems to be over for now, but it seems difficult to avoid criticism that the Airborne Department caused a confusing situation.

The joint investigation headquarters is expected to go through the investigation process again, starting with the request for an arrest warrant.

Connect a legal team reporter to the scene.

We will continue to update you from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

Reporter Lim Ye-jin explained it well earlier, but to sum up the situation so far, the Airborne Administration has appointed the police to execute the arrest warrant, and the police have confirmed that this could be legally controversial.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit made an official position a while ago.

After reviewing the law, he said he judged that the command of the execution of the warrant was not excluded, but explained that he agreed with the National Assembly to avoid leaving any small controversy as it is a serious case.

In the end, as the police said, it can be seen as a position to execute the warrant under a cooperative system.

Reporter Lee Kyung-guk, you were suddenly confused from this morning.

I think the lack of coordination was one of the reasons.

[Reporter]
Correct.

It was first known through media reports.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit sent an official letter last night - the police said they received it this morning, but there was a time difference.

Even when reporters first went through the process of confirming with the police, the police responded that it was absurd.

A police official said that there was no consultation at all, but that he did not expect to send an official letter at night, and that he was in the process of discussing what to do in the future, including the execution of an arrest warrant, and that he received the official letter when the consultation was not completed.

In short, it is understood that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit suddenly sent an official letter during the consultation.

[Reporter]
Through this controversy, there was a lot of regret in the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

Most of the predictions were that it would be difficult to execute an arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol and that there would be resistance, but Senior Civil Servant Corruption Officer Oh Dong-woon also warned the security service, mentioning the charge of obstructing the execution of special public affairs.

But I think I lacked preparation for it.

It seems that he thought that the execution of the arrest warrant would be smooth if the prosecutor of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit went.

At today's back briefing, Deputy Prosecutor Lee Jae-seung also said he did not expect to block the execution in this way.

Including this, they acknowledged their limitations, right?

[Reporter]
Correct.

In the process of explaining the background of the execution of the warrant, it revealed its limitations.

Deputy Prosecutor Lee Jae-seung explained that the field command system needs to be unified, and that the police decided it was better to do it, but the Airborne Administration said it had no expertise in executing warrants and actually acknowledged the limitations.

And there was also an answer to the effect that President Yoon's case could be handed over to another institution. The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit said that it would not insist on unnecessary reasons or proceed with the investigation arbitrarily, and that it would consider re-transferring the case to the prosecution and police at some stage.

In fact, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit has repeatedly expressed confidence in the investigation.

The head of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit mentioned the possibility of arrest and arrest at the National Assembly, and also disclosed the president's request for a ban on livestock.

At the same time, I took over the case.

I took over the case from the prosecution.In light of the confidence so far, it seems that criticism is inevitable.

[Reporter]
Let's look at the controversy up to this point.

I'll explain what happens in the future.

You can go back to the situation when you first got an arrest warrant.

However, the arrest warrant issued by the existing Seoul Western District Court is valid until midnight today.

So, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit said at today's briefing that it would extend the validity of the arrest warrant, but it is expected to return the existing arrest warrant and request the warrant again.

After that, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is expected to discuss with the police when and how to execute the arrest warrant.

Asked if the court might not issue an arrest warrant, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit said it is unlikely.

If an arrest warrant is issued, shouldn't we go through the process again over the past three days?

[Reporter]
I think it would be better to reconsider the execution process of the first arrest warrant on the 3rd.

At that time, the security service and the military built a triple cordon to block the air defense and police personnel.

In particular, it has also been confirmed that more than 200 people built a wall with their arms folded near the official residence.

After that, the presidential security service is locked tighter by locking the door.

Barbed wires were also installed on the mountain road where the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit entered to break through the cordon, and security seems to have become stronger.

In the end, in order to execute the arrest warrant again, it seems that the Airborne and the police will have no choice but to increase the number of personnel used, but since the Airborne has already recognized the limitations in manpower mobilization, it is expected that the police will eventually support and increase the number of dispatched personnel.

[Reporter]
Hasn't this controversy raised the level of criticism from the President of Yoon Suk Yeol?

[Reporter]
That's right. First of all, it seems that the police's execution of arrest warrants by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit has virtually never happened.

However, President Yoon's side is criticizing the investigative agency with this opportunity.Seok Dong-hyun, a lawyer for President Yoon

, pointed out to YTN that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit admitted to the illegality of the investigation of rebellion and the request for an arrest warrant.Lawyer

also held a press conference today, and President Yoon also said he expressed his deplorable stance on the collapse of the rule of law.

Earlier in the day, lawyer Yoon Gap-geun also criticized whether he was subcontracting part of the construction company, and pointed out that the Public Prosecutor's Office and the police should follow proper legal procedures without plotting a judicial rebellion with a trick.

[Reporter]
So far, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit has delivered it to you.
