The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit officially announced that it would make every effort to execute the arrest warrant under the joint headquarters system.

The controversy seems to be ending, but it seems difficult to avoid criticism that it caused confusion.

I'm connecting with the reporter. Reporter Lee Kyung-guk!

[Reporter]
Yes, it's in the high-ranking government official's criminal investigation office.

Has the official position of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit come out yet?

[Reporter]
Yes, after the police briefing, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit made an official position.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit first explained the controversy over the dismissal of the arrest warrant, saying that it was the result of self-examination of legal principles such as the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit Act and the Criminal Procedure Act.

At the same time, he said, "As it is a serious case investigation, there should be no small controversy," adding, "I agree with the national script."

Regarding the execution of arrest warrants, he emphasized that the joint government system will consult well and proceed.

In the end, it is explained that we will proceed as we have done so far.

There seems to be a side where the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit caused controversy.

Apart from criticism of the process or interpretation of the law, I think it will be controversial whether the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit was willing to investigate or arrest?

[Reporter]
President Yoon Suk Yeol's impeachment bill passed, but he is subject to security from the security service,
There were many predictions that the arrest process would not be smooth, as the
Security Department also directly or indirectly expressed a strong position.

This is also the reason why Oh Dong-woon, head of the Airborne Division, warned the security service, even mentioning the charge of obstructing the execution of special public affairs.

However, contrary to what was said, the preparation seems to have been insufficient.

Lee Jae-seung, deputy prosecutor of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, held a briefing today to explain the controversy, and he said he did not expect to block the execution of arrest warrants in this way.

It is expected that it will be difficult to avoid criticism for being too easy to prepare.

Wasn't there a scene where the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit acknowledged their limitations?

[Reporter]
Explaining the background of entrusting the execution of the warrant to the police, Deputy Prosecutor Lee Jae-seung said that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit had no expertise in executing the warrant and acknowledged its limitations.

In addition, he said he would not insist on the investigation for unnecessary reasons or proceed arbitrarily, adding that he could re-transfer President Yoon's case to another agency.

In the meantime, it has been 180 degrees different from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

Oh Dong-woon, head of the Airborne Division, came to the National Assembly earlier to directly mention the possibility of arrest investigation and arrest, and also disclosed President Yoon's request for a ban on leaving the country.

And based on the Corruption Investigations Unit Act, he took over all of President Yoon's cases, especially in the case of the prosecution, by requesting twice.

This is the point where criticism can come out along with preparations for execution of arrest warrants.

So much for the earlier controversy,

How will the investigation proceed from now on?

[Reporter]
The deadline for the arrest warrant issued earlier is today.

For now, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is expected to seek a warrant for the arrest of President Yoon Suk Yeol again.

If an arrest warrant is issued, it is expected that the timing and method of execution will be decided after consultation between the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the police.

However, the key is whether it will be able to break through the resistance of the security agency that built the triple cordon,
The
Police Special Task Force previously warned that it would consider arresting current offenders against security services.

[Anchor]
Isn't the resistance from President Yoon's lawyer strong?

[Reporter]
Yes, this controversy has intensified criticism from President Yoon.Seok Dong-hyun, a lawyer for President Yoon

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

At the press conference, lawyer Seok said President Yoon lamented 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, and pointed out that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the police should follow due process rather than plotting a judicial rebellion with a trick.

So far, the airlift has delivered it to you.
