Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit "Choi Sang-mok did not respond to the official letter of cooperation..."Can't even communicate in person".

The high-ranking government official's criminal investigation office said it had asked acting President Choi Sang-mok to direct the security agency, but had not heard back.

Lee Jae-seung, deputy director of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, explained at a press briefing today (6th) that he had asked for an answer from acting Choi by noon yesterday (5th) but had not received a reply.

In addition, Oh Dong-woon, the head of the Airborne Division, said that he tried to communicate with Choi himself, but even this failed, but he did not explain the exact method.

Acting President Choi reportedly did not respond to the request under the Public Offices Act, which states that the president or officials in the presidential secretariat should not be involved in the affairs of the investigation, but the Public Offices only requested cooperation from agencies with authority to execute warrants.

Earlier on the 4th, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit sent an official letter to Acting Chief Choi asking for cooperation, saying, "As long as the security of the security service continues, it is impossible to execute the arrest warrant."
